Abstract

A NiCrAIY coating was deposited on the TC6 titanium substrate by arc ion plating (AIP). The structure and morphologies of the NiCrAIY coating were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the influence of vacuum heat treatment on the element diffusion behavior was studied. The results showed that the γ'-Ni 3Al phase was precipitated on the NiCrAIY coating after heat treatment. The Ni 3(Al,Ti), TiNi, and Ti 2Ni intermetallic layers appeared at the interface from the outside to the inside at 700°C, and the thickness of the intermetallic layers increased with the increase in temperature. At 700°C Ti and Ni were the major diffusion elements, and the diffusion of Cr was observed when the heat treatment temperature increased up to 870°C. The violent inward diffusion of Ni at 950°C resulted in the degradation of the NiCrAIY coating.
