Abstract
Commercially pure aluminium powder and a mixture of aluminium and silicon powders, both in a liquid amyl acetate-based organic binder, were sprayed onto the surface of Inconel 713LC nickel base superalloy. A two-stage heat treatment process in an argon atmosphere flow was designed and applied to produce nickel aluminide diffusion coatings. Two coating systems composed of different layers with gradual changes in chemical composition and phase quantities were formed. Scanning electron microscope, scanning electron microscope/focused ion beam, both equipped with energy dispersive microanalyzers, were utilized to characterize the microstructure and chemical composition of the coatings.
