MCrAlY can be used as bond coats for thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) with good ductility and excellent resistance against high temperature oxidation and hot corrosion. The behavior of the thermally grown oxide (TGO) scale formed at the MCrAlY coatings plays a key role on the oxidation resistance. In this paper, the oxidation kinetic curves of a MCrAlY coating at 900~1000 °C were obtained by measuring the thickness of the TGO scales. The curves basically conveyed parabolic laws, indicating a diffusion-controlled mechanism of the TGO growth. The thickness of TGO was positively correlated with the consumption of β phase during the early stage of the oxidation processes. After about the half-life of the β phase consumption, the depletion of the β phase significantly accelerated, which was caused by coating-substrate interdiffusion. In addition, the microstructure of the TGO was analyzed

MCrAlY can be used as bond coats for thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) with good ductility and excellent resistance against high temperature oxidation and hot corrosion. The behavior of the microstructure development in the MCrAlY coatings plays a key role on the oxidation resistance. In this paper, the microstructure in the coatings oxidized at 750~1100 °C was analyzed. The formation of the phases and their fraction were studied by comparing thermodynamic simulation results with the experimental observations. At higher temperatures (>1000 °C) β-to-γ’-to-γ phase transformation took place while at lower temperatures (<1000 °C) β phase would transfer to γ directly. The results show that the simulation can semi-quantitatively predict the microstructure formed in the coating.

To improve the oxidation/corrosion resistance of MCrAlY coatings (M for Ni and/or Co), elements like Y, Si and Ta have been added into the coatings in past decades. In this study the oxidation performance of a Ni-based MCrAlY coating with small proportion of Ru, Mo and/or Ir were investigated after high-temperature exposure. The oxidation tests were carried out at 900°C, 1000°C or 1100°C. The micro structure study showed that the addition of Ru, Mo and/or Ir had significant influence on the oxidation behavior at the coating surface and the microstructural evolution in the material. The microstructural evolution was quantitatively evaluated by measuring the phase degradation of β-NiAl in the coating and γ′-Ni3Al in the substrate of superalloy. Since no oxides of Ru, Mo and Ir were found on the coating surface, it was believed that the effects by those elements were mainly due to their dissolution in the metallic phases in the coatings.

In this study, the effect of the addition of Hf on the oxidation behavior of NiTi alloy, which was processed using additive manufacturing and casting, is studied. Thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) were performed at the temperature of 500, 800, and 900 °C to assess the isothermal and dynamic oxidation behavior of the Ni50.4Ti29.6Hf20 at.% alloys for 75 h in dry air. After oxidation, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were used to analyze the oxide scale formed on the surface of the samples during the high-temperature oxidation. Two stages of oxidation were observed for the NiTiHf samples, an increasing oxidation rate during the early stage of oxidation followed by a lower oxidation rate after approximately 10 h. The isothermal oxidation curves were well matched with a logarithmic rate law in the initial stage and then by parabolic rate law for the next stage. The formation of multi-layered oxide was observed for NiTiHf, which consists of Ti oxide, Hf oxide, and NiTiO3. For the binary alloys, results show that by increasing the temperature, the oxidation rate increased significantly and fitted with parabolic rate law. Activation energy of 175.25 kJ/mol for additively manufactured (AM) NiTi and 60.634 kJ/mol for AM NiTiHf was obtained.

Abstract Zirconium-based alloys are one of the most significant materials in thermal-neutron reactor systems. With very low neutron capture cross section, good corrosion resistance, mechanical strength and resistance to neutron radiation damage, zirconium alloys are used for fuel claddings. Cladding materials are still improved and tested in normal as well as critical reactor conditions. Zircaloy-4 (Zr-1.5Sn-0.2Fe-0.1Cr) is used for west types of light-water reactors, Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR). In our study, Zircaloy-4 cladding tubes were high-temperature oxidized in steam at the series of temperatures from 950 up to 1425 °C to simulate PWR reaching severe accident conditions. To observe the influence of hydrogen (H) diffusing from the coolant water on oxidation process, the specimens with ∼1000 ppm H were compared to the specimens with almost no hydrogen content. Wave Dispersive Spectroscopy (WDS) and nanoindentation were performed in line profiles across the cladding wall. Both methods contributed to verify the pseudobinary Zircaloy-4/oxygen phase diagram with focus on determination of phase boundaries. The increase of oxygen concentration with increasing temperature was observed. Moreover, oxygen concentration profiles and related change in nanohardness and Young's modulus showed the effect of hydrogen on the cladding microstructure. Hydrogen dissolved in metallic matrix increases the oxygen solubility in prior β-phase, the specimens with 1000 ppm H showed the higher oxygen content at almost all temperatures. As well, material hardening was observed on specimens with 1000 ppm H with significant difference in β-phase, measured on specimens exposed to lowest and highest oxidation temperature. Thus, with increasing temperature and hydrogen content, increased oxygen solubility affects the cladding ductility.

The objective of this study is aluminide overlay coatings of MCrAlY sprayed by a vacuum plasma spraying (VPS) process for the protection against high-temperature corrosion and oxidation of gas turbine components. Diffusion coating processes have been applied for many years to improve similarly the environmental resistance by enriching the surface of nickel-based superalloys with chromium, aluminum, or silicon element. Recently, aluminizing of MCrAlY coatings is used for improving further the high-temperature oxidation resistance. However, the aluminizing properties of plasma-sprayed MCrAlY coatings, which have an important effect on the coating performance, have not been clarified. In this study, five kinds of plasma-sprayed MCrAlY (CoCrAlY, CoNiCrAlY, CoNiCrAlY+Ta, NiCrAlY, and NiCoCrAlY) coating were selected for pack-aluminizing tests. The as sprayed and the heat-treated (1393 K, 2 h, argon cooled and 1116 K, 24 h, argon cooled) MCrAlY specimens were Al-Cr-Al2O3-NH4Cl pack-aluminized at 1173, 1223, and 1273 K for 5, 10, and 20 h, respectively. The experimental results showed that the aluminizing process formed the aluminum rich layers of NiAl or CoAl phase. It also indicated that the thickness of the aluminum rich layer showed a parabolic time-dependence in all MCrAlY coatings. The order of reaction diffusion rate was NiCoCrAlY=NiCrAlY>CoNiCrAlY>CoNiCrAlY+Ta>CoCrAlY. There was a tendency that the reaction diffusion rate by aluminizing increased with increasing nickel content in the MCrAlY coatings and the reaction diffusion rate of as sprayed MCrAlY coatings is faster than that of the heat-treated MCrAlY coatings.

The objective of this study is to compare the mechanical properties of overaluminized MCrAlY coatings sprayed by a vacuum plasma spraying process for the protection against high-temperature corrosion and oxidation in the field of gas turbine components. Recently, the overaluminized MCrAlY coatings are used for improving further the high-temperature oxidation resistance. However, the mechanical properties of aluminized MCrAlY coatings, which have an important effect on coating lives, have not been clarified. Five kind of freestanding MCrAlY specimens (CoCrAlY, CoNiCrAlY, CoNiCrAlY+Ta, NiCrAlY, NiCoCrAlY) were machined from the thick vacuum plasma sprayed (VPS) coatings. And, the heat-treated MCrAlY specimens (1393 K, 2 h, argon cooled and 1116 K, 24 h, argon cooled) and the overaluminized specimens (Al-Cr-Al2O3-NH4Cl pack, 1173–1273 K, 10 h) after the heat-treatment were used. The experimental results suggested that the volume fraction of precipitated aluminum compounds in the VPS MCrAlY coatings and the residual stress induced by the overaluminizing treatment had important effects on the mechanical properties. The Vickers hardness and Young’s modulus of the overaluminized MCrAlY coatings showed higher values in comparison with the VPS MCrAlY coatings. There was a tendency that the bend strength of overaluminized VPS MCrAlY coatings decreased by the aluminizing treatment and also with increasing volume fraction of precipitated aluminum compounds in the VPS MCrAlY coatings. It was also confirmed that the bend strength of aluminized layers themselves was reduced with increasing volume fraction of precipitated aluminum compounds in the VPS MCrAlY coatings. These tendencies were caused by the enrichment of brittle precipitates, such as NiAl and/or CoAl intermetallic compounds.

This paper presents the results of an experimental study of the high-temperature isothermal oxidation behavior and micro-structural evolution in plasma sprayed thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) at temperatures between 900 and 1200 °C. Two types of specimens were produced for testing. These include a standard and vertically cracked (VC) APS. High temperature oxidation has been carried out at 900, 1000, 1100 and 1200 °C. The experiments have been performed in air under isothermal conditions. At each temperature, the specimens are exposed for 25, 50, 75 and 100 hours. The corresponding microstructures and microchemistries of the TBC layers are then examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy EDS. Changes in the dimensions of the thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer are determined as functions of time and temperature. The evolution of bond coat microstructures/interdiffusion zones and thermally grown oxide (TGO) layers are compared in TBCs with standard (STD) and vertically cracked (VC) microstructures.
