Abstract

The paper considers selected features of the protective ion-plasma coating deposition onto large-sized gas turbine components using vacuum-arc method by means of the MESh-50 and MAP-R pilot plants. The units have been developed based on the long-term operating experience of MAP-1 (MAP-1M) serial production. These plants are widely used in Russian and international aircraft-building complexes enabling all basic ion-plasma technological processes using standard cathodes made of nickel, cobalt, aluminum alloys and pure metals (Cu, Ti, Cr, Zr, etc.). The increased dimensions of the deposition chamber and the simultaneous use of several evaporators with pipe cathodes 180 mm in diameter and 540 mm high make it possible to apply coatings to large-sized components of gas turbine engines and plants, including such complex parts as “blisk” and “blink”.
