(54) | Coating and coating method for gas turbine component |
(57) The present invention provides a protective coating for a gas turbine blade or other
component wherein the duplex coating includes an aluminum-bearing coating, such as
a diffusion aluminide, formed on a first, relatively higher temperature region of
the blade/component and a later-applied chromium-bearing diffusion coating formed
on an adjacent relatively lower temperature region of the blade/component subject
to hot corrosion in service. The chromium-bearing coating is applied after the aluminum-bearing
coating by masking that coating and depositing a metallic chromium coating on the
adjacent region followed by diffusing the chromium into the blade/component alloy
to form a chromium-enriched diffusion coating thereon.
