Title: Synthesis and Oxidation Behavior of Platinum-Enriched γ+γ' Bond Coatings on Ni-Based Superalloys

Journal Article · · Surface and Coatings Technology

Simple Pt-enriched {gamma}+{gamma}{prime} coatings were synthesized on Rene 142 and Rene N5 Ni-based superalloys by electroplating a thin layer of Pt followed by a diffusion treatment at 1150-1175 C. The Al content in the resulting {gamma}+{gamma}{prime} coating was in the range of 16-19 at.% on superalloys with 13-14 at.% Al. After oxidation testing, alumina scale adherence to these {gamma}+{gamma}{prime} coatings was not as uniform as to the {beta}-(Ni,Pt)Al coatings on the same superalloy substrates. To better understand the effect of Al, Pt and Hf concentrations on coating oxidation resistance, a number of Ni-Pt-Al cast alloys with {gamma}+{gamma}{prime} or {beta} phase were cyclically oxidized at 1100 C. The Hf-containing {gamma}+{gamma}{prime} alloys with 22 at.% Al and 10-30 at.% Pt exhibited similar oxidation resistance to the {beta} alloys with 50 at.% Al. An initial effort was made to increase the Al content in the Pt-enriched {gamma}+{gamma}{prime} coatings by introducing a short-term aluminizing process via chemical vapor deposition or pack cementation. However, too much Al was deposited, leading to the formation of {beta} or martensitic phase on the coating surface.
