The Influence of Surface Preparation Method on Microstructure of HF-Modified Aluminide Coatings Deposited by CVD Method on Rene 80 and MAR M-247 Nickel Superalloys
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.
