Abstract

Exposure to oxidation at 1000°C and 1100°C in still air was used to study the protective nature of a platinum—aluminide coating on selected nickel-base superalloys with the same aluminum content. Emphasis was placed on the thermal stability of the coating as well as the morphology, structure, and chemical composition of surface scale. Scanning electron microscopy, analytical electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were used to characterize the microstructure. Interdiffusion between the coating and each substrate occurred at both temperatures, resulting in significant changes in coating structure and composition. Although the coatings on each alloy exhibited similar structural stability, they developed scales of different protective nature. Refractory and reactive elements in the substrates appeared to have the most significant effects.
