Abstract

Novel Zn-MAX phases like Ti2ZnC were synthesized in the literature by the reaction between Lewis acid salts like ZnCl2 and the MAX phase. The interactions between the Cr–Al–B MAB phase contained in the PLS coating formed during HDA of Fe–Cr–B cast steel and five types of molten chloride salts (ZnCl2 and SnCl2) were investigated. The results showed that the Cr-(Al, Zn)–B and Cr-(Al, Sn)–B MAB phase solid solution were formed as the PLS coating reacted with the molten ZnCl2 and SnCl2, respectively, through topochemical reaction. Zn and Sn could not coexist in the A-site Cr–Al–B MAB phase solid solution, and the replacement ability of Sn2+ contained in molten salt was much stronger than that of Zn2+. Zn and Sn whiskers could spontaneously grow on the Cr-(Al, Zn)–B and Cr-(Al, Sn)–B MAB phase solid solution respectively.
