Abstract
Y/Cr-modified aluminide coatings were prepared on a Ni-base superalloy K417G using a hybrid slurry/pack cementation process. The coatings consisted of a NiAl layer with dissolved Cr and Y. The microstructures and high temperature corrosion behavior of the coatings were characterized using SEM/EDS, XRD, EPMA and SIMS. Cyclic oxidation tests at 1000 °C for 200 h were carried out in air. The results indicated that specimens coated by either the Y/Cr-modified aluminide coatings or the simple aluminide coatings exhibited better oxidation resistances than the cast alloy. The Y/Cr-modified aluminide coatings possessed lower oxidation rates and better degradation resistance than the simple aluminide coatings during the oxidation tests. Furthermore, the alumina scales formed on the Y/Cr-modified aluminide coatings were considerably more adherent than those on the simple aluminide coatings during the thermal cycling. The hot corrosion tests consisted of applying a 25 wt% K2SO4 +75 wt% Na2SO4 salt mixture to the specimens and exposing at 900 °C. The Y/Cr-modified aluminide coatings showed the longest service life compared with the cast alloy and aluminide coatings, which suffered significant sulfur attack. After 200 h, the Y/Cr-modified aluminide coatings were still protective.
