Abstract
This paper presents results from recent factory engine testing of simple aluminide coatings produced using pack cementation processes and platinum modified aluminide coatings produced using both pack cementation and chemical vapor deposition processes. These coatings were evaluated on DS nickel base superalloy high pressure turbine blades in a commercial high bypass turbofan engine. Operating conditions were such that turbine inlet air contained up to 3 ppb of sodium. Details of the factory engine testing, coating selection and application, and environmental protection provided by the coatings are highlighted. Future testing plans are also presented.
