Development of Re‐based diffusion barrier coatings on nickel based superalloys

A diffusion barrier type coating with a duplex layer structure, an inner σ‐(Re, W, Cr, Ni) as a diffusion barrier and outer Ni‐aluminide as an Al reservoir, was formed on a Nickel based, single crystal, superalloy (TMS‐82 +) and on Hastelloy X. Oxidation properties of both the alloys with or without the diffusion barrier coating were investigated in air under thermal cycling between room temperature and 1423 K for up to 360 ks. The inner σ layer with a composition (at%) of (35–40) Re, (15–20) W, (15–25) Cr and (15–25) Ni was produced by electrodeposition of Ni‐70Re and Ni‐20W films from aqueous solutions followed by Cr‐pack cementation at temperatures between 1473 and 1573 K, and the outer Ni‐aluminides of β‐(Ni,Cr)Al + γ′‐(Ni,Cr)3Al was formed by electrodeposition of a Ni film, followed by Al pack cementation. After the 360 ks oxidation it was found that the structure and composition of both σ layer and alloy substrate were retained with little change. Furthermore, there was little Al in the σ layer. It could be concluded that the Re‐based alloys such as σ (Re(W),Cr,Ni) are very promising candidates as a diffusion barrier between the outer Al‐reservoir layer and alloy substrate at temperature of 1423 K. It was found that the Re(W)‐Cr‐Ni acts as a diffusion barrier for both inward diffusion of Al and outward diffusion of alloying elements in the alloy substrate.
