Abstract

The NiCrAlY coatings deposited by flame-spray technique on the superalloy substrate were oxidized in the presence of air and Na2SO4 + V2O5 salt at 900 °C for 100 cycles. The kinetics of oxidation showed that the coatings deposited by flame-spray technique possess better oxidation resistance compared with coatings deposited by high-velocity oxy fuel (HVOF)-sprayed technique. The oxidized coatings were further characterized by XRD, FESEM/EDS, and x-ray mapping techniques. The mechanisms of the oxidation and hot corrosion were substantiated by analyzing the results obtained from the various characterization techniques.
