Two NiCoCrAl/ZrO{sub 2}-Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} microlaminates (A and B) were fabricated by electron beam physical vapor deposition, which were different in layer number and metal-layer thickness. The layer number was 20 and 26, respectively. And the metal-layer thickness was 35 and 14 {mu}m, respectively. The microstructure and isothermal oxidation behavior were investigated. During the exposure in air at 1000 deg. C for 100 h, the t to m phase transformation occurred in the ceramic layers, and oxide scales formed at the surfaces of not only the outer metal-layers but also the internal metal-layers for the microlaminates. The oxidation rate of microlaminate B was greater than that of microlaminate A. Their overall mass gains were significantly dependent on the number and thickness of the metal-layers. The oxidation products were also influenced by metal-layer thickness. Oxide scales of the 35 {mu}m thick metal-layer microlaminate (A) consisted mainly of {alpha}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} and {theta}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}, while the oxidation products of the 14 {mu}m thick metal-layer microlaminate (B) were the mixture of {alpha}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}, {theta}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} and Cr{sub 2}O{sub 3}. It was also found that the growth of the oxide scale adjacent to the top YSZ layer was controlled by the oxygen diffusion, and that the growth of the oxide scale adjacent to the internal YSZ layer was controlled by the metal ionic diffusion. - Highlights: {yields} Effect of laminate structure on oxidation behavior of microlaminates was studied. {yields} Oxygen diffusion through YSZ layers led to the oxidation of internal metal-layers. {yields} The thinner NiCoCrAl layer was more difficult to form the stable Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} scale. {yields} Control of oxide scale growth by the oxygen diffusion in the outer metal-layers. {yields} Control of oxide scale growth by the metal ionic diffusion in internal metal-layers.
