Corrosion and Wear Protection of Compressor Blades by Aluminum Coatings and a New Method for Testing their Erosion Resistance

  • Chapter
Surface Engineering

Abstract

Aluminum coatings on compressor blades guarantee a very good cathodic corrosion protection provided they are not damaged. In operation, however, the additional erosive stress — caused by particles in the intake air of the compressor — damages coatings and considerably reduces the protection against corrosion. Aiming at an improvement of the operating behaviour of compressor blades under such complex stress conditions, it is investigated, how various coating systems behave under combined erosive and corrosive stress condition. In order to find out the erosion stability of new and precorroded coating systems an erosion testing method has been developed. The following paper deals with the most important influencing factors of erosion (blasting wear) and their presentation in the new erosion testing method taking into account the experiences and results being available up to now.
