Effects of Nano-Al2O3p on Hot Corrosion Resistance of NiCoCrAlY Cladded Coatings
Three NiCoCrAlY cladded coatings reinforced by different contents of nano- Al2O3p and one without nano-Al2O3p were prepared on a Ni-base super alloy using laser cladding technique. Hot corrosion of the NiCoCrAlY coatings in Na2SO4/K2SO4 (75:25, wt. /wt.) mixture was performed at 1050 °C in static air. The effects and influencing mechanism of nano-Al2O3p on the hot corrosion behavior of the coatings were discussed. Results indicate that the hot corrosion resistance of the coatings with nano-Al2O3p is better than that of the one without nano-Al2O3p, among which the one with 1.0 wt. % nano-Al2O3p presented the best hot corrosion resistance. The improvement of the hot corrosion resistance is largely due to the refinement of the microstructure after adding nano-Al2O3p.
