Table
1. Coating process2. Substrate3. Resultant coating

Notes:

A. The definitions of processes specified in column 1 of the Table are as follows:

  • (a) "Chemical Vapour Deposition" (CVD) is an overlay coating or surface modification coating process wherein a metal, alloy, composite or ceramic is deposited upon a heated substrate. Gaseous reactants are reduced or combined in the vicinity of a substrate resulting in the deposition of the desired elemental, alloyed or compounded material on the substrate. Energy for this decomposition or chemical reaction process is provided by the heat of the substrate.

    • (1) CVD includes the following processes: out-of-pack, pulsating, controlled nucleation thermal decomposition (CNTD), plasma enhanced or plasma assisted processes.

    • (2) "Pack" means a substrate immersed in a powder mixture.

    • (3) The gaseous material utilized in an out-of-pack process is produced using the same basic reactions and parameters as the pack cementation process, except that the substrate to be coated is not in contact with the powder mixture.

  • (b) "Electron beam physical vapour deposition" (EB PVD) is an overlay coating process conducted in a vacuum chamber, wherein an electron beam is directed onto the surface of a coating material causing vaporization of the material and resulting in condensation of the resultant vapours onto a substrate positioned appropriately, and includes a case where gases are added to the chamber during the processing.

  • (c) "Electrophoretic deposition" is a surface modification coating or overlay coating process in which finely divided particles of a coating material suspended in a liquid dielectric medium migrate under the influence of an electrostatic field and are deposited on an electronically conducting substrate.

  • NB: Heat treatment of parts after coating materials have been deposited on the substrate, in order to obtain the desired coating, is an essential step in the process.

  • (d) "Pack cementation" is a surface modification coating or overlay coating process wherein a substrate is immersed in a powder mixture, a so-called pack, that consists of:

    • (1) the metallic powders that are to be deposited (usually aluminium, chromium, silicon or combinations thereof);

    • (2) an activator (normally a halide salt); and

    • (3) an inert powder, most frequently alumina.

    The substrate and powder mixture is contained within a retort which is heated to between 1030 K to 1375 K for sufficient time to deposit the coating.

  • (e) "Plasma spraying" is an overlay coating process wherein a gun (spray torch), which produces and controls a plasma, accepts powder coating materials, melts them and propels them towards a substrate, whereon an integrally bonded coating is formed.

    • (1) "High velocity plasma spraying" means such spraying at more than 750 metres per second.

    • (2) "Low pressure plasma spraying" means such spraying at less than ambient atmospheric pressure.

  • (f) "Slurry deposition" is a surface modification coating or overlay coating process wherein a metallic or ceramic powder with an organic binder is suspended in a liquid and is applied to a substrate by either spraying, dipping or painting; subsequently air or oven dried, and heat treated to obtain the desired coating.

  • (g) "Sputtering" is an overlay coating process wherein positively charged ions are accelerated by an electric field towards the surface of a target (coating material). The kinetic energy of the impacting ions is sufficient to cause target surface atoms to be released and deposited on the substrate.

  • NB: Triode, magnetron or radio frequency sputtering to increase adhesion of coating and rate of deposition are included.

  • (h) "Ion implantation" is a surface modification coating process in which the element to be alloyed is ionized, accelerated through a potential gradient and implanted into the surface region of the substrate. It includes processes in which the source of the ions is a plasma surrounding the substrate and processes in which ion implantation is performed simultaneously with electron beam physical vapour deposition or sputtering.

  • (i) "Cathodic arc deposition" employs a cathode which is consumable and has an arc discharge established on the surface by a momentary contact of ground trigger. Arc spots form and begin to erode randomly but uniformly the cathode surface creating a highly ionised plasma. The anode can be either a cone attached to the periphery of the cathode through an insulator or the chamber can be used as an anode. Substrates appropriately positioned receive deposits from the ionised plasma. Substrate biasing is used for non-line-of-sight deposition. A gas can be introduced in the vicinity of the substrate surface in order to react during deposition to synthesise compound coatings.

B. The definitions of other terms used in the Table are as follows-�

  • (1) "Coating process" includes coating repair and refurbishing as well as original coating.

  • (3) Multiple stage coatings in which an element or elements are deposited prior to application of the aluminide coating, even if these elements are deposited by another coating process, are included in the term "alloyed aluminide coating", but the multiple use of single-stage pack cementation processes to achieve alloyed aluminides is not included in the term "alloyed aluminide coating".

  • (3) Multiple-stage coatings in which the noble metal or noble metals are laid down by some other coating process prior to application of the aluminide coating are included in the term "noble metal modified aluminide coating".

  • (4) "Mixtures" consist of infiltrated material, graded compositions, co-deposits and multilayer deposits and are obtained by one or more of the coating processes specified in this Table.

  • (5) "MCrAlX" refers to an alloy where M equals cobalt, iron, nickel or combinations thereof and X equals hafnium, yttrium, silicon or other minor additions in various proportions and combinations.

  • (6) "Aluminium alloys" as a substrate in this Table means alloys usable at temperatures above 500 K (227°C).

  • (7) "Corrosion resistant steel" means such steel as complies with AISI (American Iron and Steel Institute) 300 series or equivalent national standard for steels.

  • (8) "Refractory metals" as a substrate in this Table means the following metals and their alloys: niobium (columbium), molybdenum, tungsten and tantalum.

    • divided by the sum of:

    • (1) 0.85 times the execution time for a fixed point addition (tax) or for a floating point addition (taf), if no fixed point instructions are implemented;

    • (3) 0.06 times the execution time for a floating point multiplication (tmf) or for the fastest available subroutine (tmsub) to simulate a floating point multiplication instruction, if no floating point multiplication instructions are implemented;

    or if no floating point multiplication instructions are implemented (tmf = tmsub) then:

    • NB: If a digital computer has neither floating point addition nor floating point multiplication instructions, then its floating point processing data rate is equal to zero;

  • "fixed point processing data rate" (Rx) is the sum of:

    • floating point addition instruction (niaf)

    • floating point multiplication instruction (nimf)-�

  • means the number of bits in the appropriate shortest single fixed or floating point instruction length which permits full direct addressing of the main storage;

    • NB:1. When multiple instructions are required to simulate an appropriate single instruction, the number of bits in the above instructions is 16 bit plus the number of bits (biax, bimx, biaf, bimf) which permits full direct addressing of the main storage.

  • Thus: niax = 16 + biax;

  • nimx = 16 + bimx

  • niaf = 16 + biaf

  • nimf = 16 + bimf

    • NB:2. If the addressing capability of an instruction is expanded by using a base register, then the number of bits in an instruction, fixed or floating point, addition or multiplication, is the number of bits in the instruction with the standard address length including the number of bits necessary to use the base register.

  • (d) if the longest fixed point operand length is smaller than 16-bit, the time required for the fastest available subroutine to ssimulate a 16 bit fixed point operation;

    • Note:1. If the addressing capability of an instruction is expanded by using a base register, then the execution time shall include the time for adding the content of the base register to the address part of the instruction.

    • 2. When calculating processing data rate for computers with cache sizes smaller than 64 kbytes, the execution time of the appropriate instructions shall be calculated as follows: (cache hit rate) × (execution time when both instruction and operand are in cache storage) + (1 − cache hit rate) × (execution time when neither instruction nor operand are in cache storage),

      • (a) the number of independent read/write channels (C); and

      • (b) the highest maximum bit transfer rate (Rtsmaxmax) of all independent seek mechanisms; or

  • (3) of an independent seek mechanism (Rts), is the product of:

    • (A) the maximum bit transfer rate (Rtsmax); and

    • (A) the rotational period (tr);

    • (B) the minimum seek time (tsmin); and

    • (C) the latency time (t1);

    • (1) the number of independent read/write channels (C); and

    • (2) the highest maximum bit transfer rate (Rttmaxmax) of all tape drives;

"superconductive" means materials (ie. metals, alloys or compounds) which can lose all electrical resistance, ie. which can attain infinite electrical conductivity and carry very large electrical currents without Joule heating. The superconductive state of a material is individually characterised by a critical temperature, a critical magnetic field which is a function of temperature, and a critical current density which is a function of both magnetic field and temperature;

"critical temperature" means the temperature at which the material loses all resistance to the flow of direct current. Critical temperature (sometimes referred to as the transition temperature) is of a specific superconductive material.
