Abstract
This work addresses the development of a coating to protect the titanium alloy designated IMI834 from oxidation and alpha case formation. This is to enable the safe use of the alloy at relatively high operating temperatures and thereby significantly improve the efficiency of aeroengines. Two different types of surface modification techniques have been employed to coat the titanium alloy: electrodeposition and pack aluminising. Cyclic isothermal oxidation studies revealed that platinum aluminide coating obtained by electrodeposition followed by pack aluminising exhibits good oxidation resistance compared with that exhibited by a plain aluminide coating. Based on results obtained by different techniques, it is suggested that platinum aluminide is a prospective coating material for preventing alpha case formation and protecting against oxidation in components fabricated from titanium alloy IMI834.
