Diffusion coatings including aluminide coatings are utilized to improve the high temperature oxidation and corrosion resistance of turbine blades. Through the advancement in the aluminizing methods, higher purity and more homogeneously distributed coatings have been realized. The chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is the most advanced technique utilized for aluminizing process. The versatility of CVD provides a large possibility to control process variables such as temperature, pressure, gas flows and ratios, and aluminum activity. However, the main challenge of CVD method is optimizing the process parameters to obtain high growth rate and outer layer/interdiffusion zone (IDZ) ratio while satisfying required coating microstructure and composition. In addition, improvement in the durability of aluminide coating is also an important design criterion to extend the lifetime of turbine blades which could be achieved by the addition of reactive or alloying elements to the coating. In this dissertation, production of aluminide coatings by CVD was investigated to effectively increase growth rate and outer coating layer/IDZ ratio by optimizing the process variables. The influence of temperature, pressure, chlorinator temperature, gas flows and ratios, aluminum activity, and process time were studied on the formation of aluminide coating by univariate experimental analysis. Also, the effect of substrate properties, such as surface roughness, composition, and sample thickness was separately studied. Moreover, co-deposition of reactive (Zr, Hf, Y) and alloying (Cr, Co) elements were investigated to incorporate ternary elements to aluminide coating in desired concentration and distribution. Additionally, the impact of these ternary elements on the hot corrosion behavior of aluminide coatings was evaluated by isothermal hot corrosion test to extend the life time of turbine blades.

Design and development of iron aluminium intermetallic compounds for structural applications at high temperatures Yıldırım, Mehmet; Akdeniz, Mahmut Vedat; Mekhrabov, Amdulla O.; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2014) Fe-Al based intermetallic compounds are considered as suitable candidates for structural applications at high temperatures due to their outstanding oxidation and corrosion resistance, good intermediate temperature strength, low density, low cost and relatively high melting point. These outstanding physical and mechanical properties are mainly attributed to their long-range ordered superlattices, deviation from stochiometry and ternary alloying additions. However, poor ductility at ambient temperatures signi...
Development of high temperature creep resistant aluminium based sand cast magnesium alloys Yalınız, Emrah; Kalkanlı, Ali; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2018) The aim of this thesis is to develop alternative sand casting aluminum based magnesium alloys to substitute current sand castable helicopter transmission housing magnesium alloys such as ZE41A and EV31A. AZ91 magnesium alloy has also been preferred for helicopter transmission housing material. However, the lower creep resistance above 120 oC due to the presence of -(Mg17Al12) phase in the microstructure and showing varying mechanical properties in different section thicknesses limit the usage of AZ91 in th...
Optimization of chemical vapor deposition process parameters for aluminizing Ertürk, Umutcan; İmer, Muhsine Bilge (2016-08-01) Ni-based super alloys such as Inconel 738LC, MAR-M-200, CMSX-4 are used in the hot sections of industrial gas turbines due to their excellent mechanical strength and creep resistance at high service temperatures. To protect turbine blades from thermo-mechanical failure, oxidation/corrosion resistant coatings are necessary to extend the life time. For this purpose, diffusion coatings including chromized, siliconized, aluminide coatings have been studied by different groups. Among them, aluminide coatings are...
Kinetic investigation of chemical vapor deposition of B4C on tungsten substrate Karaman, Mustafa; Sezgi, Naime Aslı; Doğu, Timur; Ozbelge, H. Onder (2006-12-01) Production of beta-rhombohedral boron carbide (B4C) on a tungsten substrate by the chemical vapor deposition from a BCl3-H-2-CH4 gas mixture was achieved. An impinging-jet reactor was used to minimize the mass-transfer limitations on the reaction kinetics, which made a detailed kinetic investigation possible. Results of the XRD and XPS analyses showed that the solid product formed on the substrate is a rhombohedral B4C phase. Both dichloroborane and boron carbide formation rates were found to increase with ...
Synthesis and characterization of Ti-based bulk amorphous/naocrystalline alloys for engineering applications Abdelal, Ali; Akdeniz, Mahmut Vedat; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2004) Amorphous and bulk amorphous metallic alloys are an intriguing class of structural materials and possess a range of interesting properties, including near theoretical strength, high hardness, extremely low damping characteristics, excellent wear properties, high corrosion resistance, low shrinkage during cooling and almost perfect as-cast surfaces with good potential for forming and shaping. In this study, new Ti-based bulk amorphous alloys are tried to be modeled and synthesized. For that purpose, electron...
