Pre-service oxidation of gas turbine disks and seals

A gas turbine component, such as a turbine disk or a rotating seal, is fabricated by furnishing a substrate (70) shaped as a gas turbine component made of a nickel-base superalloy, and oxidizing the surface (72) of the substrate (70) to produce an oxidized substrate (70) having thereon an oxide laye...

Zusammenfassung:A gas turbine component, such as a turbine disk or a rotating seal, is fabricated by furnishing a substrate (70) shaped as a gas turbine component made of a nickel-base superalloy, and oxidizing the surface (72) of the substrate (70) to produce an oxidized substrate (70) having thereon an oxide layer (78) with a thickness of at least about 500 Angstroms. The step of oxidizing is performed prior to entry of the component into service and in an atmosphere that does not contain combustion gas. The oxidized gas turbine component is thereafter placed into service.
