Influence of coatings obtained by PVD on the properties of aircraft compressor blades

Microstructure, hardness and corrosion behaviour of Ti/TiN multilayer coatings produced by plasma activated EB-PVD

“…It has been shown that the marine environment can accelerate the corrosion failure of compressor blades as a result of the attack of the moisture containing salts and acids [1,2]. Besides, sands and other particles ingested by the engines can also lead to blades erosion.…”

Effect of high temperature on the characterization of fretting wear regimes at Ti6Al4V interfaces

“…A common solution is to coat the surfaces of the compressor blade roots with plasma sprayed coatings and dry film lubricants [21]. This has lead to many on-going investigations with the purpose of developing and implementing longer lasting coatings and/or new blade/disk materials [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33].…”

Electronic structure and mechanical properties of hard coatings from the chromium–tungsten nitride system

“…[4][5][6] Especially with regard to hot corrosion resistance, chromium nitride coatings evidence promising properties. 7,8 W-N thin films were examined as a diffusion barrier for Al and Cu metallization in ultralarge scale integrated circuits. [9][10][11] Concerning the Cr-based ternary nitrides, the mechanical and structural properties of Cr-Ti-N, 12 Cr-Mo-N, 13 and Cr-W-N 14 thin films were recently reported by Hones et al Ternary compounds give rise to the opportunity to adjust parameters like lattice constant, hardness, elasticity, thermal expansion, or corrosion stability in order to optimize the overall performance of the coating.…”
