Abstract
Surface coatings for an air-lubricated, compliant journal for an automotive gas turbine engine were tested to find those capable of withstanding temperatures of either 540°C (1000°F) or 650°C (1200°F). Also, the coatings have to be capable of surviving the start-stop sliding contact cycles prior to rotor lift-off and at touchdown. Selected coating combinations were tested in start-stop tests at 14 kPa (2 psi) loading for 2000 cycles at room and maximum temperatures. Specific coating recommendations are: Cdo and graphite on foil versus chrome carbide on journal up to 370°C (700°F); NASA PS-120 (Tribaloy 400, silver, and CaF2) on journal versus uncoated foil up to 540°C (1000°F); and chemcially adherent Cr2O3 on journal and foil up to 650°C (1200°F). The chemically adherent Cr2O3 coating system was further tested successfully at 35 kPa (5 psi) loading for 2000 start-stop cycles.
