Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Addition of Pt to alumina-forming alloys and coatings has beneficial effects on oxidation and hot corrosion performance. This project seeks to optimise the performance of conventional Pt-aluminide coatings and then assess the potential of other precious metals as replacements for Pt, or in combination with Pt. The focus will then shift to determining optimum levels of incorporated rare earth elements, reactive additions and refractory metals to facilitate oxide integrity and formation of a diffusion barrier layer. An understanding of the development of microstructures of these hybrid coatings and their influence on the mechanisms of degradation - as evaluated by, for instance, coating ductility testing - will form the central theme of this project. The overall expectation is that the project will eventually lead to an improved coating system which better meets the requirements of enhanced aero engine performance and minimised life cycle costs.
