Abstract
Reactive reactive element oxide RexOy (Re=Ce, Y)-modified aluminide coatings were developed by aluminizing the as-codeposited Ni-RexOy composite film using pack cementation method at 1100°C for 4 h. By comparison, aluminizing was also performed with the same condition on an as-deposited Ni film without RexOy particles. SEM/EDAX and TEM results indicated that the co-deposited CeO2 or Y2O3 particls were homogeneously dispersed in the finer-grain nanocrystalline Ni grains. The cyclic oxidation in air at 900°C indicated that the RexOy -modified aluminide coatings were profoundly spallation resistance as compared to the RexOy -free coatings due to the formation of a continuous adherent α-Al2O3 scale.
