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.

The paper presents the influence of long-term heat treatment on aluminide coating. The MAR M-200 nickel superalloy was use as base material. The aluminide coating was deposited in low-activity chemical vapour deposition process using Ion Bond BPX Pro 325s device with following parameters: temperature 1040°C, time 12 hours, pressure 150 mbar. The samples (14 mm diameter) were annealed at 1020°C in vacuum for 12, 16 and 20 hours respectively. The XRD phase analysis and SEM microstructural observation with EDS analysis were conducted. The phase composition analysis showed that after deposition the NiAl phase is a main component of the coating. After the 20-hour-long annealing presence of Ni3Al phase in the coating was observed. Changes in structure of coatings and Al content during heat treatment were detected as well. The maximum duration of heat treatment performed for Ni superalloy with aluminide coating without significant changes in coating phase composition and microstructure is 16 hours.

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.

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.

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 diffusion aluminide coatings are widely used in the air-cooling passages to protect their surfaces against high temperature corrosion. In this study plain and Si-modified aluminide coatings were applied by slurry technique on internal surfaces of Ni-base GTD-111 superalloy cylindrical specimens derived from a gas turbine air-cooled blade. The slurries containing Al or Al plus Si powders were applied on internal surfaces by injection method. Then, the samples were heated to high temperature (800-1000°C) to form the coatings. Optical, SEM-EDS, and XRD were utilized for characterizing microstructures and phase compositions of the coatings. The thicknesses of applied coatings on internal surfaces were in the range of 30-50 μm that meets specifications for diffusion coatings in such application (i.e. 25-756m). The examinations demonstrated that both coating types were contained β-NiAl phase as the matrix. The uniformities of coatings applied on different surface positions of passageway were determined. In addition, the effects of time and temperature of coating process as well as mass of dried slurry on the coating thickness were also discussed.

In the article the hafnium modified aluminide coatings deposited using chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method were analyzed. The influence of surface treatment (grinding, sandblasting with different pressures) on microstructure of coatings were described. The Re 80 and M-247 nickel superalloys were used as substrate. Thickness of the obtained aluminide coating was in the range 32-45 mm on Re 80 and 40-45 mm on M-247 respectively. The average amount of Al in the additive layer was 22-24 wt% on Re 80 and about 21 wt % on M-247 base alloy. The total amount of hafnium in coatings did not exceed 2.5 wt % - usuallly below 0.5 wt %. The conducted research has shown that there is no strong influence of surface preparation methodology on microstructure of aluminide coatings obtained by CVD method.

A novel, low temperature Organometallic Chemical Vapour process (LOM), developed by Liburdi Engineering is presented in this paper. The process, which is widely used in the electronics industry to apply thin layers of pure aluminum, has been successfully scaled from a 3″ (75 mm) diameter quartz reactor to a production hot wall metal retort with an internal diameter of 18″ (0.45m) and a height of 60″ (1.5m). The capability for simultaneously coating external and internal surfaces is discussed. The aluminum layer can be used directly for low temperature atmospheric corrosion protection in place of IVADIZING or diffusion heat treated to produce an oxidation resistant aluminide coating for superalloys. Results of cyclic oxidation and salt fog corrosion testing are presented. The potential for alloying with modifying elements such as platinum to further enhance its high temperature oxidation resistance and to use the process in conjunction with thermal barrier coatings are presented. Potential applications ranging from coating of heat exchangers and automotive catalytic converters to the coating of industrial and aero turbine blades with complex cooling passages are presented.

The diffusion-controlled growth and microstructural evolution at the interface of aluminide coatings and different substrates such as Ni-base superalloys and steel are reviewed. Quantitative diffusion analysis indicates that the diffusion rates of components in the β-NiAl phase increases with the addition of Pt. This directly reflects on the growth rate of the interdiffusion zone. The thickness and formation of precipitates increase significantly with the Pt addition. Mainly Fe2Al5phase grows during hot dip aluminization of steel along with few other phases with the very thin layer. Chemical vapor deposition process is being established for a better control of the composition of the Fe-aluminide coating on steel.

The paper presents results of microstructural analysis of Hf-modified aluminide coatings. The coating was obtained using chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method at 1040°C using BPX-Pro 325 S equipment (Iond Bond). The deposition process time was 960 mintutes. The IN-718, IN-100 as well as CMSX-4 single-crystal nickel superalloys were the substrate material. The observation of coating was carried out using scanning electron microscopy. Chemical composition was analyzed using EDS method. The results showed that hafnium accumulates mainly on diffusion/additive layer interface and forms a „chain” of small precipitations. Hafnium was found in the additive NiAl layer of aluminide coating deposited on IN-100 superalloy. Its amount did not exceed 0.3 at %.

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.
