Ni and Fe - based heat-resistant alloys for coatings

Use

VKNA, RP-NiCr16Al6Y, AP-Cr20Ni80, RP-Cr20Ni80, RP-NiCr20Co20Al13, RP-FeCr20Al6Y and others. Me (Fe, Ni, Co)-Cr-Al alloys provide heat-resistant coatings for gas turbine engines and energy equipment. Reduced and water-sprayed powders may be used to produce parts for use in construction using the sintering method.

RP-Ni85Al15 gas-thermal and flame-resistant coatings, durable in water and coating alkali, and as substrata for coatings made from oxides and carbides.

RP-Ni70Al30 flame-resistant and heat-resistant coatings at temperatures of up to 1200 ⁰C, for use in construction parts produced through sintering.

RP-Ni55Ti45 -wear-resistant coatings durable in alkali, seawater and open air at temperatures of up to 600 ⁰C, in construction parts with shape-memory effects produced through sintering.

Methods for coating deposition:

plasma spraying, plasma-jet hard-facing (PTA), plasma-flame, detonation and high-speed spraying (HVOF).

Choice of material is based on the purpose of coating, the aim of acheiving special properties in the surface of machine and equipment parts, and the method of coating deposition.

Properties of NiAl metallides

The basic phase in the material RP-Ni70Al30 is the metallide NiAl (β` - phase >95%), while in RP-Ni85Al15 it is the metallide Ni₃Al (γ`- phase >95%), and in VKNA the metallide Ni₃Al (γ`- phase). The materials' structure in a coating is marked by high resistance to recrystallization during use at high temperatures.
