Purpose: The aim of this study was to manufacture and examine the structure of aluminide coatings formed on Ni-based super alloy Inconel 617 in an argon atmosphere. Design/methodology/approach: The coatings were produced by the slurry method at temperatures from 900 to 1100°C and times from 2 to 6 hours. The newly-developed slurry composition was: powders of aluminium and silicon; NaCl, KCl, NaF halide salts as an activator and a water solution of a soluble glass as an inorganic binder. The microstructure (SEM), chemical composition (EDS) and phase composition (XRD) of the coatings were determined. Additionally the correlation between the technological parameters and the coating thickness was analysed. Findings: Slurry aluminide coatings with newly-developed composition have been successfully produced. The obtained coatings had a multi-zone structure depending on manufacturing parameters. Research limitations/implications: The next stage of this research will be to determine the performance of the coatings under high temperature cyclic oxidation. Optimization of the production parameters will therefore be possible after oxidation and cyclic oxidation tests. Practical implications: The slurry method is economical due to low consumption of powder material. Another advantage of the applied slurry composition is the possibility of forming protective coatings on other substrates. Originality/value: The use of the inorganic binder in the slurry allowed to produce the coatings in one single step without additional annealing at an intermediate temperature as it is when applied organic binder. The grain size of aluminium and silicon powders was less than usually used. The applied activator dissolved the passive layers present on the surface both of the aluminum powder and of the nickel alloy and accelerated the reactions that occur during coating formation.

This paper presents the results of microstructural examinations on slurry aluminide coatings using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray microanalysis, and X-ray diffraction. Aluminide coatings were produced in air atmosphere on austenitic high-temperature creep resisting cast steel. The function of aluminide coatings is the protection of the equipment components against the high-temperature corrosion in a carburising atmosphere under thermal shock conditions. The obtained coatings had a multilayered structure composed of intermetallic compounds. The composition of newly developed slurry was powders of aluminium and silicon; NaCl, KCl, and NaF halide salts; and a water solution of a soluble glass as an inorganic binder. The application of the inorganic binder in the slurry allowed to produce the coatings in one single step without additional annealing at an intermediate temperature as it is when applied organic binder. The coatings were formed on both: the ground surface and on the raw cast surface. The main technological parameters were temperature (732–1068°C) and time of annealing (3.3–11.7 h) and the Al/Si ratio (4–14) in the slurry. The rotatable design was used to evaluate the effect of the production parameters on the coatings thickness. The correlation between the technological parameters and the coating structure was determined.

An experimental investigation was conducted to study the ash particle rebound characteristics and the associated erosion behavior of superalloys and aluminide coatings subjected to gas-particle flows at elevated temperature. A three-component LDV system was used to measure the restitution parameters of 15 micron mean diameter coal-ash particles impacting some widely used superalloys and coatings at different angles. The presented results show the variation of the particle restitution ratios with the impingement angle for the coated and uncoated superalloys. The erosion behaviors of INCO-738, MAR 246 and X40 superalloys and protective coatings C, N, RT22 and RT22B also have been investigated experimentally at high temperature using a specially designed erosion tunnel. The erosion results show the effect of velocity, temperature and the impact angle on the erosion rate (weight loss per unit weight of particles). Based on the experimental results of the particle mass effect on both weight losses and erosion rates, the coating lives have been estimated for different particle concentrations.

Reactive reactive element oxide RexOy (Re=Ce, Y)-modified aluminide coatings were developed by aluminizing the as-codeposited Ni-RexOy composite film using pack cementation method at 1100°C for 4 h. By comparison, aluminizing was also performed with the same condition on an as-deposited Ni film without RexOy particles. SEM/EDAX and TEM results indicated that the co-deposited CeO2 or Y2O3 particls were homogeneously dispersed in the finer-grain nanocrystalline Ni grains. The cyclic oxidation in air at 900°C indicated that the RexOy -modified aluminide coatings were profoundly spallation resistance as compared to the RexOy -free coatings due to the formation of a continuous adherent α-Al2O3 scale.

Technological parameters for electroplating cadmium alloy (Cd (24)-In and Cd (33)-Sn) coatings from low toxic solutions have been proposed. Since the fabricated alloy coatings possess low internal stress and microhardness, good adhesion property, high corrosion and wear resistance, they can be used as protective coatings for machine building products to enhance reliability and operability thereof. The presence of good solderability and low values of transient electric resistance in climatic testing favor these coatings to be applied in hetero-structured contact systems of instrument making products for increasing their reliability and operability in a tropical marine climate.

The paper represents a formalized methodology for solving the problem of creating fundamentally new materials, such as "base - coating" ones, which have increased surface wear resistance and relatively high strength and viscosity. Electrospark alloying (ESA) method is proposed as a process for depositing protective coatings on metal surfaces. There are considered the issues of improving the quality of the coatings formed by the ESA method. There is specified a feature of processing the surfaces having been treated with the use of the ESA method, which feature being associated with a relatively small thickness of the layers formed (tens of micrometers). Since to reduce the roughness of the surface, the process of grinding is difficult or even unacceptable to perform, it has been suggested to use the method of surface plastic deformation (SPD). One of the effective SPD methods for finishing the parts is a diamond smoothing process, which, in contrast to running-in with a ball or roller, allows processing the parts of very high hardness values. As a reserve to improve the quality of coatings formed by the ESA method, there is considered a process for producing combined electrospark deposition coatings (CEC) with hard wear-resistant and soft anti-friction metals integrated therein. There are represented the results of mass transfer process investigation performed at forming the CEC on the specimens of steel 45 with indium, tin and copper being used as soft antifriction metals, and tungsten and hard alloy of VK8 grade applied as wear-resistant materials. There is represented a mathematical model for calculating the main ESA technological parameters being necessary for forming the CEC and allowing to predict the weight gain (increase in weight) and size gain (increase in size) at the cathode (the part). It allows predicting the CEC main technological parameters for any electrode pair materials (substrate material and electrode materials making up the CEC).

In the present study, high temperature properties of Ir-modified and Ir-Hf-modified aluminide coatings on Ni-based single crystal superalloy TMS-82+ were discussed. They were prepared by depositing pure Ir and Ir-Hf alloys on TMS-82+ using magnetron sputtering and EB-PVD, followed by a conventional Al-pack cementation process. The effects of Hf addition on the oxidation resistance and top-coat spallation resistance were investigated. Cyclic oxidation test at 1423K for 1h as one heating cycle revealed that while there is a small difference in oxidation kinetics and spallation lives between Ir and Ir-Hf coatings, drastic difference in surface morphology was observed. After 50 oxidation cycles the Ir-modified aluminide coating showed surface rumpling whereas the Ir-Hf modified aluminide coatings kept the flat surface. It was also revealed that excessive addition of Hf promoted the internal oxidation, resulting in the deterioration of substrates. These results agree with the conventional Pt-modified aluminide coatings and Ni-Al-Hf alloys.
