Abstract
Ni coatings were prepared on the high Nb–TiAl alloy by the plasma surface alloying technique. The results found that surface morphology and microstructure exhibited a strong dependence on the deposited temperature. The elements diffusion during the metalizing stage leaded to the high hardness value and adhesion force between the Ni coating and substrate. The corrosion resistance of the Ni-coated specimens depended on the fabrication temperature related to the deposition and diffusion layers. For the oxidation, the weight gain rate was involved in the chemical reaction in the initial oxidation stage. The inter-diffusion among elements such as the nickel, titanium, and aluminum resulted in the high adhesion force after the oxidation, improving the bonding force between the Ni coating and substrate.
