Abstract
Abstract Abradable coatings, as one of the most important technologies for aero and industry gas turbine engines, have an extremely significant influence on engine performance. The macro-hardness of AlSi-Polyester for low-pressure compressor and as-sprayed coating degradation mechanism has been investigated by heat treatment process in imitation service condition. SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and OM (Optical Microscope) were used to observe the morphology of powder and coating microstructure in cross-section, respectively. Rockwell hardness tester was used to measure the macrohardness of coatings before and after heat treatment. It shows that AlSi-Polyester powder has an approximately spherical shape and uniform microstructure with alloy phase and polyester phase distribution in the coating prepared by air plasma spraying. Oxidation of the alloy phase and reduced polyester, as well as macrohardness in the as-sprayed coating, occur after the heat treatment process.
