REVÊTEMENTS RÉSISTANT À L'ÉROSION DE GOUTTELETTES D'EAU POUR AUBES DE TURBINE ET AUTRES COMPOSANTS

摘要

A material for water droplet erosion- and corrosion-resistant coatings, comprising metallic tungsten alloyed with carbon in a substantially uniform nano-structure that is substantially free of oxygen, other than at surface portions exposed to air or moisture. The coatings disclosed may be particularly resistant to water droplet erosion when coated onto gas or steam turbine blades.
