Description
Used for thermal halide Chemical Vapour Deposition of gas-turbine blades and alloy substrates. Materials deposited include Al, Cr, Hf, Si, Y at temperatures of up to 1100°C. Shield gas is argon or argon-hydrogen and the process is carried out at atmospheric pressure.
Uses / Applications
Coating of Turbine blades and similar high temperature components. In combination with sputtering facilities, the ability to manufacture precious metal aluminide intermetallic coatings.
