Microscale lamellar NiCoCrAlY coating with improved oxidation resistance

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A novel NiCoCrAlY coating was fabricated by plasma activated electron beam-physical vapor deposition (PA EB-PVD). Within the duplex coating, the β-NiAl phase precipitated as small lamellae (less than 1μm thick) in a γ matrix, predominantly oriented perpendicular to the coating surface. The oxidation results at 1373K show that the scaling rate constant during the steady-state oxidation of the novel coating is reduced by approximately 70% as compared with the conventional coating of similar composition produced by electron beam-physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD). This reduction in oxidation rate is attributed to a slower θ→α Al 2O 3 phase transformation during the initial stages of oxidation.
