Abstract

Heat-resistant coatings are considered for the external surface of high-pressure turbine (HPT) single-crystal blades for promising gas turbine engines (GTEs) made from carbon-free nickel superalloys with rhenium or rhenium plus ruthenium. Nickel superalloys covered with heat-resistant coatings consisting of heat-resistant connecting layers and an external ZrO2-(7–8 wt %)Y2O3 ceramic layer are subjected to heat resistance and high-temperature tests. The test results are used to choose the heat-resistant layer that ensures the highest properties of a composition heat-resistant coating. The use of sequential chemical and physical deposition methods for coating layers is shown to be required to protect HPT blades in promising GTEs. Medium-frequency magnetron plasmachemical deposition of ceramic layers in heat-resistant coatings with a low thermal conductivity is found to be promising.
