- Metallic coatings are widely employed to improve the oxidation resistance of superalloys. However, the interdiffusion between the metallic coatings and the superalloys leads to microstructural degradation in both. Some of the underlying degradation mechanisms are still elusive, e.g., the γ′ (Ni3Al) phase depletion in superalloys, where a large amount of γ′ precipitates are dissolved in the γ matrix even though the incoming Al from coatings indeed increases the Al content. Here, we investigated the interdiffusion behavior between the Amdry365 coating and the IN792 superalloy at 1100 °C, using multiple microscopic techniques and thermodynamics calculations. Our results showed an excellent agreement between experiments and thermodynamics simulations, indicating the dominant role of Al on the initial diffusion-induced phase transitions. We proposed the Al-Cr interference effect to account for the pile-up behavior of Cr and the reduced Al content near the coating/superalloy interface. The local phase equilibrium calculations revealed that the γ′ depletion in the superalloy is primarily attributed to the loss of γ′-forming elements, such as Ta and Ti. Our findings opened up an avenue for studies on the superalloy/coating interdiffusion, contributing to reducing this damaging impact.

Tuning Mo/W ratio to improve high temperature oxidation resistance of single crystal nickel base superalloys

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The effect of different Mo/W ratios of three single crystal nickel base superalloys on the oxidation behavior was investigated at 1100 degrees C. Both isothermal and cyclic oxidation tests showed that increasing Mo/W ratio corresponds to lower weight change and improved resistance. The microscopic observation uncovers that the harmful effect of Mo is limited by the dense Al2O3 scale. In contrast, excessive W leads to fast growth of interlayer and its premature spallation. This research proposes and verifies a new way to improve oxidation resistance of alloy, namely, balancing the harmful effect of refractory elements.
