Yg. Veksler et al., A COMPLEX ASSESSMENT OF THE EROSION-CORROSION RESISTANCE OF NITRIDE-COATED COMPRESSOR TURBINE-BLADES, Protection of metals, 34(3), 1998, pp. 241-244
TiN- and (Ti,Zr)N-coated (sic)-961 steel turbine blades were tested in
a specially designed electrically heated test unit for gaseous abrasi
ve-corrosive wear. The relative decrease in the wear resistance of the
coatings with an increase in temperature is inversely proportional to
the concurrent squared relative decrease in the internal macrostress
of the coatings. (Ti,Zr)N coating proves to be more efficient for corr
osion and erosion protection.
