Abstract

Abstract An alloy having the nominal composition Ni--30/40 wt % Cr--1/5 wt % Ti--2/8 wt % Al is used for coating gas turbine components to give protection against oxidation--and sulphidation--corrosion. A specific alloy having the composition Ni--37 Cr--3 Ti--2Al is applied to a blade fabricated from a nickel superalloy by sputter ion plating to give an overlay coating up to 100 μm thick. Preferably a platinum intermediate layer is flashed on to the substrate before coating. The coating alloy can additionally include rare earths, hafnium or silicon.
