Various low-temperature abradable coatings for applications reaching 482°C were evaluated with the purpose of being applied onto the compressor spacers of an 11 MW land-based gas turbine engine. The coating is intended to reduce the compressor rotor tip-clearance, and is expected to increase the compressor efficiency by a range of 0.5 to 1%. This study evaluated physical and metallurgical characteristics, abradable and oxidation-resistance properties of plasma-sprayed AlSi-BN, NiCrFeAl-BN and quasicrystal AlCuFeCr, and flame-and plasma-sprayed NiCrFeAl-BN.
