Three unusual Ru-rich phases have been identified in a multicomponent Ni-base single crystal superalloy, including a L21 Ru2AlTa Heusler phase, a B2 RuAl phase and a hcp Re(Ru)-rich δ phase. These phases have their own preferential precipitation location within the dendritic structure. No conventional topologically-close-packed (TCP) phases have been observed with thermal exposure at 950oC for 1500 hours.

The microstructure of Pt-modified γ′-Ni3Al + γ-Ni coating on CMSX-4 single-crystal superalloy has been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Cross-sectional TEM analyses showed the presence of precipitates in the coating. This precipitate was identified as the hexagonal topologically close-packed (TCP) μ phase with lattice parameters a = 0.473 nm and c = 2.565 nm. The energy-dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectrum of the μ phase suggested a refractory element rich compound comprising the elements Re, W, and Co. Twin domains parallel to (001) were found in the μ phase. The mechanisms of the μ phase and twinning formation were discussed.

Isothermal oxidation behavior of a 4th generation Ni-base single crystal superalloy with Pt-modified and Ru-modified aluminide coating was examined in a temperature range 1223 to 1373 K in air. Both Pt and Ru modification improve the oxidation resistance of a simple aluminide coating, especially above 1273 K. They allow thin protective and continuous Al2O3 scales to be intact for at least 500 h at temperatures up to 1323 K. However, the Pt modification drastically accelerates the formation of a secondary reaction zone (SRZ). This suggests that Pt promotes the formation of a topologically close-packed phase by lowering the solubility of refractory elements in γ-Ni. In contrast, the Ru modification reduces the SRZ, and is expected to enhance the phase stability under the coating by preventing the depletion of Ru due to its outward diffusion.
