Abstract
Abstract Production of high temperature materials with coatings being resistant to high temperature corrosion by forming a dual phase structure of corrosion resistant metal alloy and metal oxides. The metal oxides function as barriers for the diffusion of alloy elements, heat diffusion and electric conductivity. The result can be further enhanced by hot isostatic pressing of the coating and the use of tantalum as barrier layer, where the functioning of tantalum is the result of the low diffusion speed of tantalum in nickel base alloys.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
132 words
Process for preparing heat resistant and corrosion resistant materials by coating the material with an alloy of the type MCrAlY, where M is Fe, Ni, Co or NiCo, characterized in that the coating is formed by means of plasma spraying a powder of the alloy metals in the presence of a controlled supply of oxygen and that the plasma sprayed powder comprises an excess of Al and/or Cr and/or Y compared to the final alloy composition, whereby a certain amount of the powder is oxidized so that the resulting coating is of a dual phase structure consisting of a metal phase of the composition MCrAlY and oxide layers which are more or less parallel to the material surface preventing the diffusion of metals or heat in the thickness direction of the layers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
Process according to claim 1, characterized in that the oxygen is supplied as gas and/or oxide powder.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
Process according to claim 1, characterized in that the plasma sprayed powder comprises at least 2% more of Al than the alloy constituting the metal phase of the produced coating.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
Process according to claim 3, characterized in that the plasma sprayed powder comprises 7% of Al.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
Process according to claim 1, characterized in that the produced coating is given a ceramic coating.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
Process according to claim 1, characterized in that the plasma sprayed material is hot isostatically pressed in an encapsulated condition, which improves the adhesion and the diffusion density of the coating.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
19 words
Process according to claim 1, characterized in that the material is given a tantalum layer before the plasma spraying.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
19 words
Process according to claim 1, characterized in that ceramic materials are mixed into the power before the plasma spraying.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
24 words
Process according to claim 1, characterized in that the metal phase of the coating formed by means of the plasma spraying consists of FeCrAlY.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
20 words
Process according to claim 1, characterized in that the produced coating is given a ceramic coating of ZrO 2 .
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
38 words
Process according to claim 1, characterized in that the plasma sprayed material after having been given a ceramic coating is hot isostatically pressed in an encapsulated condition, which improves the adhesion and the diffusion density of the coating.
