Vane Coatings 1A
The vane coatings listed in Table 2 were applied to
the first-stage nozzle segments by the suppliers.
Two to four identically coated vanes were arranged
adjacent to each other. Groups of identically coated
vanes were placed opposite each other in the nozzle
assembly. The order of the coated segments is listed in 1C
Table 2. F iC G
Three of the four coating systems were also used in
a previous rainbow test (van Roode, et al., 1987; van
Roode, 1988), simple aluminide (H9-109), Pt,Rh-aluminide
(RT-44), and Co-30Cr-8Al-0.3Y (LPPS CoCrA1Y). The Ni-
33Co-28Cr-8Al-0.3Y (EB-PVD NiCoCrA1Y) coating had not
been evaluated as a vane coating in the first rainbow
test but this composition was included because of its
good performance as a blade coating. The EB-PVD G
NiCoCrA1Y was also included as a blade coating in the
second rainbow test.
