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 widely preferred in turbine applications due to its ability to form stable oxides that prevent oxygen diffusion to substrate materials. Aluminide coatings are generally applied by pack cementation, above-pack-process, slurry and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods. Although pack cementation is simpler and cheaper coating method, CVD has advantages over other coating processes because of its high ability to control process variables such as process gas flows and their ratios, chamber temperature, chlorinator temperature and system pressure; hence coating microstructure and homogeneity in composition. In this research, effect of CVD process variables on gas phase aluminizing are investigated to obtain highly pure and chemically uniform β phase NiAl compound with high Al content (35 - 55 %at.) aluminide coating on IN738LC substrates. Before CVD process, turbine blade surfaces are analyzed by linear profilometer to observe influence of surface roughness on aluminide coating microstructure and aluminum uniformity through substrate. Also substrates are weighed by precision scales. After aluminizing process, surface roughness and weight measurements are conducted again to observe any change due to CVD process. Coating microstructures, phases and chemical compositions are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), wavelength dispersive spectroscopy (WDS). Cross section analysis are performed by SEM to measure aluminide coating thickness consist of β-NiAl and interdiffusion zone (IDZ). Effect of CVD parameters on β-NiAl to IDZ ratio are investigated to obtain higher ratio such as 5:1. For identification of coating phases, X-ray crystallography (XRD) technique is used to observe formation of undesirable Ni – Al coating phases such as Ni2Al3, Ni3Al.

Production and development of aluminide coatings by chemical vapor deposition on nickel based superalloys for turbine engine applications Ertürk, Umutcan; İmer, Muhsine Bilge; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2017) 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, ...
Modeling and process optimization of water jet guided laser micro hole drilling on nickel-based aerospace alloys Subaşı, Levent; Gökler, Mustafa İlhan; Yaman, Ulaş; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-9-9) Special aerospace alloys are used for the manufacturing of turbine blades in gas turbines and micro cooling holes are drilled on them to increase their thermal resistance. Water Jet Guided Laser (WJGL) is a novel technology that can be used to drill these holes. WJGL process overcomes the adverse effects of conventional laser drilling, but the physics of this process is very complex. Determining the proper machining parameters to achieve acceptable process time and quality is worth to be studied. In this st...
Determination of degree of mixing in solid rocket propellants Yeşilırmak, Yener; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Department of Chemical Engineering (2006) Composite propellants are mainly composed of: crystalline oxidizer, metallic fuel, and polymeric binder. Additives, such as plasticizers, catalysts, bonding agents and curing agents may also be incorporated to propellant compositions in small amounts. These ingredients should be mixed rigorously in order to obtain a uniform microstructure throughout the cast propellant profile. The quality of the propellant mixture has to be determined quantitatively to improve the product quality and to reduce costs. In th...
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 ...
Performance analysis of a solar-assisted heat pump with an evacuated tubular collector for domestic heating Caglar, Ahmet; Yamali, Cemil (2012-11-01) Performance of a solar-assisted heat pump with an evacuated tubular collector has been analyzed both theoretically and experimentally. A domestic heating system has been designed, constructed and tested. The evacuated tubular solar collector has been used to achieve higher collector efficiencies. The effects of evaporation temperature on the heating capacity and performance of the system have been investigated. Evaporation temperature varies between 5.2 and 20.7 degrees C while storage tank temperature vari...
