Abstract

A multi-component diffusion coating has been developed to protect Mo-based alloys from high temperature environmental attack. Aluminum addition was made during the coating process to improve the oxidation resistance by developing hexagonal Mo (Si, Al)2 through the development of halide activated pack cementation coating process on pure Mo substrate. Results show that Mo (Si, Al)2 is formed as a main phase on the surface and a little amount of Mo5Si3 is also created. The total thickness of coating is tens of μm at 1373K. During the cyclic oxidation test at high temperature (at about 1323K in air), mullite (3Al2O3·2SiO2) and some SiO2 formed. The addition of Al is beneficial for MoSi2 coating and the Al-doped coating exhibits only a small weight gain and protects the Mo substrate, while the MoSi2 coating without Al suffers a significant weight loss, indicating a loss of volatile MoO3 after cycles.
