The disclosure provides a powder sherardizing agent, anti-corrosion metal part and sherardizing method. The powder sherardizing agent in parts by mass includes 20-100 parts of a metal powder, 40-80 parts of a dispersing agent, 0.2-5 parts of decomposing agent. The metal powder includes 60-97 parts of zinc powder and 3-40 parts of magnesium powder. The powder sherardizing agent provided by this disclosure can realize the infiltration of magnesium during the sherardizing process. Zinc and magnesium can form a zinc-magnesium alloy phase with high corrosion resistance, thereby greatly improving the corrosion resistance of the infiltration layer. The sherardizing method provided by this disclosure has the advantages of simple operation, convenient use, low cost, high economic benefit, and wide application range.

A process of treating a component includes mechanically removing surface debris from a base coating of the component, identifying at least one surface feature in the base coating, and applying an overlay coating layer over the surface feature of the base coating without stripping off the base coating. A process of treating a gas turbine component includes mechanically removing surface debris from a base coating of the gas turbine component, identifying at least one surface feature in the base coating of corrosion pits, dents, spalls, and combinations thereof, and applying an overlay coating layer over the surface feature of the base coating without stripping off the base coating. A treated gas turbine component includes a gas turbine component substrate and a base coating on the gas turbine component substrate having at least one healed surface feature. The healed surface feature includes an overlay coating layer on the base coating.

The embodiments herein relate to electrochromic stacks, electrochromic devices, and methods and apparatus for making such stacks and devices. In various embodiments, an anodically coloring layer in an electrochromic stack or device is fabricated to include nickel tungsten tantalum oxide (NiWTaO). This material is particularly beneficial in that it is very transparent in its clear state.

High temperature stable thermal barrier coatings useful for substrates that form component parts of engines such as a component from a gas turbine engine exposed to high temperatures are provided. The thermal barrier coatings include a multiphase composite and/or a multilayer coating comprised of two or more phases with at least one phase providing a low thermal conductivity and at least one phase providing mechanical and erosion durability. Such low thermal conductivity phase can include a rare earth zirconate and such mechanical durability phase can include a rare earth a rare earth aluminate. The different phases are thermochemically compatible even at high temperatures above about 1200° C.

In an Al coating layer-equipped stainless steel sheet, a base steel sheet has a predetermined chemical composition, and a total content of Fe and Cr at a first depth of an Al coating layer is 20 mass % to 70 mass %.

A coating system for a surface of a superalloy component is provided. The coating system includes a MCrAlY coating on the surface of the superalloy component, where M is Ni, Fe, Co, or a combination thereof. The MCrAlY coating generally has a higher chromium content than the superalloy component. The MCrAlY coating also includes a platinum-group metal aluminide diffusion layer. The MCrAlY coating includes Re, Ta, or a mixture thereof. Methods are also provided for forming a coating system on a surface of a superalloy component.

Prior electrochromic devices frequently suffer from high levels of defectivity. The defects may be manifest as pin holes or spots where the electrochromic transition is impaired. This is unacceptable for many applications such as electrochromic architectural glass. Improved electrochromic devices with low defectivity can be fabricated by depositing certain layered components of the electrochromic device in a single integrated deposition system. While these layers are being deposited and/or treated on a substrate, for example a glass window, the substrate never leaves a controlled ambient environment, for example a low pressure controlled atmosphere having very low levels of particles. These layers may be deposited using physical vapor deposition.
