Platinum Plating for Turbine Blades
Turbine Blades in a high-pressure turbine of a jet engine are exposed to a very severe environment. Temperatures in the region of 2000°C are combined with the physical stresses associated with rotation at more than 10,000 rpm. An elaborate cooling system combined with a thermal barrier coating, is necessary to avoid even the super-alloy components melting under such extreme conditions.
Aircraft and Power turbine blades are usually coated with a thermal barrier coating to enhance the service life; failure of such coatings would result in melting of the blade. Thermal barrier coatings can considerably enhance the oxidation / hot corrosion resistance of these components.
Traditionally turbine blades in both Aircraft and Power turbines are plated with a Platinum deposit to significantly enhance their service life. Such Platinum deposits are typically 5 microns in thickness and are subsequently put through a pack diffusion process to form a Platinum Alumina composite deposit, with physical properties that are beyond Platinum itself.
Platinum composite coatings are often used to increase the hot corrosion resistance and reduce the level of oxidation, allowing the components made from such super-alloys to be used for extended periods of time before they need to be replaced or repaired.
This composite coating provides a highly refractory, very high temperature resistant performance, which increases the service life of a turbine blade by a factor of three to four times.
In addition to this the turbine blades can be “re-cycled”, the blade can be rebuilt and the refurbished as the layer can be stripped and the blade re-coated with the Platinum – Alumina layer after wear and damage has been resolved.
