Electro-codeposition of MCrAlY Coatings for Advanced Gas Turbine Applications - 9th Quarterly Report
The NASF Research Board has funded a research grant at the Tennessee Technological University, under the direction of Professor Ying Zhang. The objective is to study and optimize the MCrAlY electro-codeposition process to improve the coating oxidation/corrosion performance. In this reporting period, the study studied a sulfur-free fluoborate plating solution. Although the fluoborate solution is sulfur-free and offers high plating rates, the CrAlY powder was attacked by the fluoborate anion. The fluoborate-based plating bath may be suitable for codeposition of more inert particles but not for active CrAlY-based powders.
