Abstract

An increasing problem faced by the aerospace industry is the erosive wear of engine components. Various PVD protection coatings have been used previously to combat this wear problem, but with limited success. This paper presents results obtained with a low-temperature CVD, erosion resistant, multilayer tungsten carbide coating system. The coating can be deposited at temperatures below 500°C on ferrous alloys used in the aerospace industry. The low temperature of deposition eliminates the problem of degradation of mechanical properties that occurs with normal high-temperature chemical vapor deposition processes. High-cycle fatigue strength and other mechanical property data are presented for coated stainless steel, as well as results on erosion and impact resistance at 90° impingement.
