Abstract

Cyclic oxidation behavior of detonation-gun-sprayed Ni-5Al coating on Inconel-718 is discussed in the present study. Oxidation studies were carried out on both bare and coated superalloy substrates in air at 900 °C for 100 cycles. The thermogravimetric technique was used to establish kinetics of oxidation. X-ray diffraction, FESEM/EDAX, and x-ray mapping techniques were used to analyze the oxidation products of bare and coated samples. The weight gain of bare superalloy was higher than the Ni-5Al-coated superalloy. Both bare and Ni-5Al-coated superalloys followed nearly parabolic oxidation behavior. The Ni-5Al coating was able to reduce the overall weight gain by 26.2% in comparison with bare superalloy in the given environment. The better oxidation resistance of Ni-5Al coating may be due the formation of protective oxides phases such as NiO, Al2O3, and NiAl2O4 on the oxidized coating and Cr2O3 at the coating-substrate interface. The Ni-5Al coatings obtained from detonation-gun-spraying process showed very little porosity and low surface roughness values.
