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.
