Alloys
An alloy is a phase comprising of one or more components
• Interstitial : Solute does not occupy the site in the lattice but resides in crystallographic pores
• Substitutional : Solute substitutes the solvent in the crystal lattice without structural changes
• Transformational : A completely new lattice is formed . Usually occurs as a result of intermetallic compound formation.
![Page 19: GAS TURBINE HOT PATH MATERIALS](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020712/551d09f349795955198b47df/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Home Rothery Rule 1
• Extensive substitutional solid solution occurs only if the relative difference between the atomic diameters (radii) of the two species isless than 15%.
• If the difference > 15%, the solubility is limited.
• More the difference the possibility of interstitial compound is more
![Page 20: GAS TURBINE HOT PATH MATERIALS](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020712/551d09f349795955198b47df/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Super Alloys
• Superalloys is a name for a group of alloys that retain high strength at elevated temperatures.
• Most of the superalloys are Substitution solutions, where one of the components tends to form covalent bonds (Al in Ni3Al,W in Ta or Nb).
![Page 21: GAS TURBINE HOT PATH MATERIALS](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020712/551d09f349795955198b47df/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Ni Based Super AlloysMicro Structures
• The turbine blade is made out of a nickel-base superalloy with a microstructure containing about 65%- 70% of gamma-prime precipitates in a single-crystal gamma matrix.
The γ on the left has a random distribution of Ni, Al and Ti atoms, whereas the γ' on the right has its nickel atoms located at the face-centres
![Page 22: GAS TURBINE HOT PATH MATERIALS](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020712/551d09f349795955198b47df/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Alloy Composition
• Chromium and aluminium are essential for oxidation resistance small quantities of yttrium help the oxide scale to cohere to the substrate.
• Grain boundary strengthening elements such as boron and zirconium segregate to the boundaries. The resulting reduction in grain boundary energy results better creep strength and ductility.
• There are also the carbide formers (C, Cr, Mo, W, C, Nb,
Ta, Ti and Hf). The carbides tend to precipitate at grain boundaries and hence reduce the tendency for grain boundary sliding.
![Page 23: GAS TURBINE HOT PATH MATERIALS](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020712/551d09f349795955198b47df/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Alloy Compositions
•Elements such as cobalt, iron, chromium, niobium, tantalum, molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium, titanium and aluminium are also solid-solution strengtheners, both in γ and γ'.
•There are, naturally, limits to the concentrations that can be added without inducing precipitation. It is particularly important to avoid certain embrittling phases such as Laves and Sigma.

Improvement of cast superalloy turbine blade properties by hot isostatic pressing (HIPping)
• Cast alloys often contain pores, these aredetrimental to the mechanical properties
• HIP = simultaneous application of high temperature (up to 2000°C) and pressure (up to 200MPa) via inert (argon) gas
• HIPping can remove sealed porosity from castings (cast +HIP = forged) (NB the casting remains solid - you don’t want it to melt....)
• 90+% of high pressure turbine blades are HIPped
• Blades can be “rejuvenated” by HIPping

Improvement of cast superalloy turbine blade properties by hot isostatic pressing (HIPping)
To illustrate the effectiveness of the HIP process a 25mm diameter hole was machined in two halves of a stainless steel block 75mm square.
The edges of the block were welded together, the air evacuated from the hole and the evacuation pipe sealed to create a subsurface pore.The block was HIPped and subsequently cut in half to reveal fully dense material and complete absence of any pore.

IN SERVICE DEGRADATION AND COATINGS
DEGRADATION PROCESSES: • Hot Corrosion - Caused by combination of
oxidation & sulfidation of material in contaminated environments by deposition of corrosive salts.
• Oxidation
PURPOSE OF COATINGS: To limit in service degradation of hot gas path components caused by high temperature and severe environmental conditions.

HOT CORROSION TYPE I or High Temperature Hot Corrosion
- Known since 1950s, takes place at 810 0C- 927 0C.
- Chiefly caused by deposition of Na3Fe(SO4)3 (mp= 860 0C).
- Molten sodium sulfate gets deposited on surface of components.
- Appears as: oxide scales, internal sulfidation, and depletion of oxides of Al & Cr from surface.
- Protective Alumina scales offer best protection. TYPE II (Low Temperature Hot Corrosion): - Recognized first in 1970s; Occurs at 595-760 0C.
- Caused by deposition of K2SO4/ Na2SO4 and V2O5 (tm= 690 0C). - Characterized by localized pitting form of corrosion attack. - Coatings forming scales rich in chromium offer best protection. Hot corrosion can be minimized by Stringent Fuel Quality & Air
Filtration, Use of material exhibiting good corrosion resistance and Use of Protective Coating.

HIGH TEMPERATURE OXIDATION
Superalloys exhibit inherent resistance to oxidation up to 9000 C.
Above 9000 C, rapid oxidation of constituents takes place in absence of effective barrier to oxygen on the metal surface.
Oxidation results in a continuous loss of oxide forming elements in the base metal adjacent to surface. It appears as visibly observable changes in microstructure.
If aluminum content in the material is high, a dense protective and adherent layer of Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) scale, formed in early
stages of service, provides protection against oxidation.
For many superalloys Aluminum content can not be increased due to other considerations like high strength and metallurgical stability.

PROTECTIVE COATINGS - PURPOSE
Hot gas path components of Industrial Gas Turbines operate in a very corrosive gas path environment.
Degradation rate is crucial to the performance and longevity of gas turbine.
Role of hot section Coatings is to protect the substrate from the corrosive gas environment.
Coatings are designed to protect the alloy from high temperature oxidation, and hot gas induced corrosion.
Coatings allow operation at even higher temperature and use of a broader variety of fuels.
![Page 54: GAS TURBINE HOT PATH MATERIALS](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020712/551d09f349795955198b47df/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
PROTECTIVE COATINGS DFFUSION COATINGS (Chromides or Aluminide): Suitable up to
8000C. Early gas turbines (before 1980s) were provided only with Diffusion Coatings.
In some of the current design gas turbines, Chromides/ Aluminide coatings find application in last stage bladings.
OVERLAY COATINGS: Overlay type MCrAlY (M-Co and /or Ni) coatings for higher Temperature applications.
Aluminum forms dense oxide layer on the coating surface that is thermally very stable. Other materials control Al activity, hold the oxide layer in place and adapt the coating to the base.
MCrAlY coatings are applied using the vacuum plasma spray process. Max. thickness = 0.40 mm; Life = 20-25K hours.
DUPLEX COATINGS: High Temp. Duplex coatings (GT-29 IN Plus, GT-33 IN Plus) provide protection against high temperature oxidation. In such coatings a diffusion aluminide top coat is provided over the MCrAlY Coating.

Trends in Coating Evolution Overlay Coatings (MCrAlY) in place of Diffusion Coatings. Use of Chromides and Aluminide is limited to last stage
vanes/ blades, coating of internal holes and for contaminated fuel applications.
Duplex Coatings (a diffusion layer over bond coat) are the latest as these provide benefits of both.
Extensive use of TBC – Earlier use was limited to Combustor parts. New machines require TBC for Vanes and Blade as well.
Earlier generation TBC (suitable for combustor parts) are not suitable for turbine section (particularly moving blades).
Developments in TBC mainly directed to get thermal expansion coefficient nearer to Nickel superalloys.
EB – PVD yields best quality TBC. But being very expensive, its use is limited to Bucket applications.
