Pd + Zr co-doped aluminide coatings were deposited on the CMSX-4 nickel superalloy, widely used in the aircraft industry, in order to investigate their microstructure and improvement of oxidation resistance. Palladium was deposited by the electrochemical method, whereas zirconium and aluminum by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Coatings consist of two zones: the additive and the interdiffusion one. The additive zone contains β–(Ni,Pd)Al phase with some zirconium-rich precipitates close to the coating’s surface, whereas the interdiffusion zone consists of the same β–(Ni,Pd)Al phase with inclusions of refractory elements that diffused from the substrate, so called topologically closed-packed phases. Palladium dissolves in the β–NiAl phase and β–(Ni,Pd)Al phase is being formed. Pd + Zr co-doping improved the oxidation resistance of analysed coatings better than Pd mono-doping. Mechanisms responsible for this phenomenon and the synergistic effect of palladium and zirconium are discussed.

The article presents the investigation of influence of long-term annealing of Zr modified aluminide coatings on its microstructure. The coatings were deposited by Chemical Vapour Deposition on MAR M200+Hf nickel superalloy. Annealing was carried out in a vacuum furnace at the temperature 1020°C within the period of 12, 16 and 20 hours respectively. The microstructral analysis was carried out using Hitachi S-3400 scanning electron microscope. Phase changes in the aluminide layer were observed, particularly the NiAl phase into Ni3Al. Changes in thickness of individual layers in the coating were observed. Conducted research showed that there is no influence of Zr on structure of the aluminide coating during annealing. The structure changes are similar to observed in simple aluminide coating. The maximum time of heat treatment without significant influence on structure of aluminide coating is 16 hours. After that time the main component of coating is NiAl phase.

Abstract The generalized Darken method was applied to simulate the diffusion between γ-Ni| γ’-Ni3Al and γ’-Ni3Al|β-NiAl interfaces. The results of calculations were compared with the experimental concentration’s profiles of nickel, aluminum and hafnium in aluminide and hafnium doped aluminide coatings deposited by the CVD and PVD methods on pure nickel. The method deals with the Wagner’s integral diffusion coefficients and thermodynamic data - activities of components. The experimental results agree with the simulated ones.

AbstractThe generalized Darken method allows a quantitative description of diffusion mass transport in multi-phase materials. The method characterizes the diffusion zone by phase volume fractions. The results of the calculations are compared with experimental concentration’s profiles of nickel, zirconium and aluminum in zirconium doped aluminide coatings deposited on pure nickel by the PVD and CVD methods.

The aim of the present work was to determine the influence of chemical composition of the protective coating on the oxidation resistance of the protected alloy. Zirconium modified and nonmodified aluminide coatings were deposited on the MAR M200 nickel superalloy by the CVD method. The oxidation tests were conducted at 1100°C into 23 hour in the air. The chemical composition (EDS) analysis was performed. The kinetic of oxidation of zirconium modified and nonmodified aluminide coatings was similar. Oxides inclusions called pegs were observed on the surface of oxidized aluminide coating. HfO2 oxide is more stable than Al2O3 oxide, hafnium atoms can replace aluminum atoms in Al2O3 oxides. This phenomena let to stabilize NiAl phase and increase of oxidation resistance of aluminide coating.

Nickel superalloy was coated by aluminide coatings by the slurry method. The slurry as active mixture containing aluminium and silicon powders, an activator and a binder. The coating were obtained by annealed in argon atmosphere. The structure of these coatings is two zonal and depends on time and temperature of producing. The phase composition was determined using following techniques: scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with Xray microanalysis (EDS) combined with electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and Xray diffraction (XRD).

The Zr modified aluminide coatings is an alternative concept for replacing Pt-modified aluminide bondcoat for thermal barrier coatings. In the paper the influence of process parameters on the chemical composition and the thickness of aluminide coatings will be presented. The zirconia-doped aluminide coating was deposited on turbine blades made from ZS6K nickel superalloy during the low-activity CVD process. In recent work the influence of turbine blade geometry on thickness of coating was observed. The thickest coating was observed on the trailing and leading edge on the blade cross-section. In the conducted research, the light and scanning electron microscopy were used as well as the EDS chemical composition microanalysis.

The application of protective aluminide coatings is an effective way to increase the oxidation resistance of the treated parts and prolongs their lifetime. The addition of small amount of noble metals (platinum or palladium) or reactive elements such as: hafnium, zirconium, yttrium and cerium has a beneficial effect on oxidation behavior. This beneficial effect includes an improvement of adhesion of alumina scales and reduction of oxide scale growth rate. Platinum and hafnium or zirconium modified aluminide coating were deposited on pure nickel using the electroplating and CVD methods. The coatings consisted of two layers: an outer, β-NiAl phase and the interdiffusion γ’-Ni3Al phase. Palladium dissolved in the whole coating, whereas hafnium and zirconium formed inclusions on the border of the layers. Samples were subjected to cyclic oxidation test at 1100 °C for 200h. Oxidation resistance of the palladium, Hf+Pd and Zr+Pd modified coatings deposited on pure nickel does not differ significantly, but is better than the oxidation resistance of the non-modified one.

In the present article the doping of aluminide coatings by Pt/Pd as well as Hf or Pd using industrial processes was developed. The different combinations of doping elements were tested as well as their influence on chemical composition of coatings was initially investigated. The Pt and Pd and both Pt + Pd was electroplated on the surface of the MAR M247 nickel superalloy. The Zr or Hf was doped during low activity CVD aluminizing process using industrial Bernex BPX Pro 325S system. The conducted research showed that Pt and Pd formed the (Ni, Pd, Pt) Al solid solution in the outer additive layer. The higher concentration of palladium in the near surface and in the whole additive layer was detected. The platinum was presented below the surface of aluminide coating. The Zr or Hf was detected mainly in the diffusion zone. The low concentration of Zr (about 0.1 wt.%) in the outer zone was observed. The hafnium was detected mainly in the diffusion zone but in the outer additive layer a small concentration of this element was measured. The obtained results showed that formation of three elements (Pd, Pt) + Zr or Hf modified aluminide coating using proposed technology is possible. The structure of all obtained aluminide coatings was typical for a low-activity, high temperature (LAHT) formation process mainly by outward diffusion of Ni from base material.
