Interaction of a near-{alpha} type titanium alloy with NiCrAlY protective coating at high temperatures
MCrAlY coatings possess the properties of not only excellent oxidation and hot corrosion resistance but also sufficient toughness. This is why they have been commercially used on superalloys for several decades. Nevertheless, investigations revealed that there might be violent interactions between this kind of coating and titanium based alloys at high temperatures. This chemical incompatibility may promote the growth of brittle phases along the substrate/coating interface and thus deteriorates the mechanical properties. An effective barrier layer was desired to be sandwiched between the MCrAlY coating and Ti substrate to weaken the interdiffusion and chemical reactions. Ti60 is a near {alpha} type alloy intended to be used at 600 C. The interaction between this alloy and a NiCrAlY coating has never been investigated. Actually, in addition to the service at high temperature, another high temperature process, i.e., the post heat treatment in vacuum, is generally needed for the MCrAlY coating to eliminate possible defects within the received PVD coatings. Hence, the investigation on the interfacial stability of a Ti60/MCrAlY system at high temperatures is of importance in both theoretical and practical meanings. This paper is aimed at observing the interfacial reactions of this system at various temperatures in excess of 600 C. The obtained data may be useful in further work on optimizing the post treatment parameters and developing new coating systems with barrier interlayer.
