Abstract
The paper presents results of simple, Pt/Pd- and Pt-modified aluminide coatings' cyclic oxidation-induced degradation analysis. The coatings were deposited by Pt and Pt+Pd electroplating, followed by vapor phase aluminizing at 1050°C. Cyclic oxidation tests were performed at 1100°C in 23hcycles. Microstructural and phase analysis conducted using XRD, SEM, EDS and EBSD methods revealed that the oxide layers that formed on the coatings were composed of three distinctive types of oxides growing according to a specific pattern which is described. The oxide layer that formed on the simple aluminide coating exhibited low adhesion in comparison to Pt- and Pt,Pd-modified aluminide coatings which managed to maintain an adherent oxide layer that contained higher amount of desirable α-alumina. The Al-depleted βNiAl grains remained much larger in the modified aluminide coatings, even after failure. What is more, stripes characteristic for martensitic transformation were discovered in the β phase grains in all coatings.
