Effect of silicon and yttrium on the structure and properties of diffusion coatings on nickel alloys

Abstract

The processes occurring during the formation of combined aluminide coatings on nickel alloys using gas and plasma vacuum technology are considered. It is shown that the external surface of the coating has the structure of a secondary β-NiAl solid solution after the application of a diffusion coating from an Al‒Si–Y alloy directly on the surface of alloys or on samples preliminary aluminized or chromoaluminized at 1000°C. The results of heat-resistance tests at temperatures of 1000 and 1050°C are presented.
