Isothermal and cyclic oxidation resistance at 1000{degrees}C in air were investigated for a cast Cr-containing Ni{sub 3}Al-base alloy and its sputtered nanocrystalline coating. The results indicated that both the cast Ni{sub 3}Al alloy and its sputtered coating exhibit excellent isothermal oxidation resistance as a result of the formation of Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} scales. However, the cast alloy possesses very poor cyclic oxidation resistance because of the spallation of the initially formed Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} scale during cooling and subsequent formation of NiO. On the contrary, the sputtered Ni{sub 3}(AlCr) nanocrystalline coating exhibits very good cyclic oxidation resistance due to the significant improvement of the adhesion of Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}.
