    Development of Rare Earth Metal-Modified Heat-Resistant Coatings for Gas Turbine Blades
    (Ukrainian State University of Chemical Technology, Dnipro, 2024) Yefanov, V. S.; Gnatenko, M. O.; Laptieva, H. M.; Basov, Y. F.; Sukhyy, Kostyantyn M.; Kovalyov, S. V.; Popov, S. M.
    ENG: This paper presents an investigation into the influence of Y-La and Y-Hf-La modifiers on the structure and properties of Ni-Cr-Al consumable cathodes used for heat-resistant coatings on turbine blades via the arc-ion plating method. The study shows that the introduction of these modifiers positively affects the structure formation process of the consumable cathodes. The modifiers contribute to a higher degree of microstructural homogeneity in the cathodes, achieved through the formation of nanosized stabilizing phases between the alloying elements and the rare earth metal groups. This study experimentally confirms that Ni-Cr-Al coatings produced with the Y-La and Y-Hf-La modified cathodes outperform traditional Y-only modified coatings in oxidation tests. Structural analysis of the coatings reveals that samples with Y-Hf-La exhibit greater homogeneity and fewer defects, which is particularly important when depositing coatings with large thicknesses (over 40 µm). It was found that the introduction of the Y-Hf-La complex enables the application of coatings up to 90 µm thick by forming a less defective structure. Additionally, it has been established that Y-Hf-La modification enhances the adhesion of the coating to the substrate and allows for maximum uniformity in the distribution of alloying elements throughout the entire thickness of the applied coating.

    Properties of Zr–Ti–Nb and Ti–Al–V Alloys
    (Ukrainian State University of Chemical Technology, Dnipro, 2024) Kovalyov, S. V.; Ovchynnykov, O. V.; Sukhyy, Kostyantyn M.; Yefanov, V. S.; Kalinichenko, O. O.; Koval’ova, N. V.
    ENG: This article is devoted to studying the properties of the new Zr–Ti–Nb alloy and comparing it with the well-known Ti–Al–V alloy (ÂÒ-6, Grade 5 analog). The properties were analyzed through chemical composition determination and corrosion resistance assessment. The Zr–Ti–Nb alloy does not contain the toxic impurities present in the Ti–Al–V alloy, specifically aluminum and vanadium. Structural studies were conducted to identify the phases (X-ray diffraction analysis) and their composition using scanning electron microscopy. The microstructure and phase composition of the Zr–Ti–Nb alloy indicated a uniform distribution of elements throughout the alloy. The wetting angle of the Zr–Ti–Nb alloy with an oxide layer is significantly smaller than that of the Ti–Al–V alloy, suggesting greater hydrophilicity. Physical research methods included determining density, reflectivity, and electrical conductivity. Mechanical properties were examined by determining the elastic modulus, strength limit, yield strength, longitudinal elongation, transverse contraction, and microhardness. Notably, the elastic modulus of the Zr–Ti–Nb alloy is 26.4 GPa, similar to that of cortical bone, in contrast to the Ti–Al–V alloy, which has an elastic modulus of 110–140 GPa. The obtained data indicate that the superior chemical and mechanical properties of the Zr–Ti–Nb alloy make it suitable for medical applications.
