Abstract
Aluminide diffusion coatings are commonly used to protect aircraft gas turbine blades and vanes from oxidation and hot-corrosion attack. These coatings are based on NiAl intermetallic compound with other alloying elements like Cr and Ti either diffused from the superalloy substrate or incorporated in a separate coating step. The present investigation is mainly concerned with the development of both aluminide and chromoaluminide coatings on IN-100, a cast Ni-base superalloy. The coating structure and composition have been characterized and the cyclic oxidation and hot corrosion properties have been evaluated for the different types of coatings. The difference in the hot-corrosion properties between the aluminide and the chromoaluminide coatings has been rationalized in terms of the coating chemistry. The mode of coating degradation under hot-corrosion conditions has also been analyzed.
