Abstract
To improve the corrosion resistance and to study the effect of yttrium in the behavior of coatings produced by thermal spraying MCrAlY (M=Ni, Co) powders, CO2 laser processing was conducted. Three methods were used: (1) a combination of gas flame and plasma spraying in air followed by laser glazing in argon, (2) low-pressure plasma spraying (LPPS) and laser glazing in argon, and (3) LPPS and laser-gas (O2) alloying. Laser glazing in argon of the MCrAlY coatings sprayed in air promoted formation of weakly adherent agglomerates of Al−Y oxides and an alumina-chromia solid solution. Glazing in argon atmosphere of LPPS CoNiCrAlY and NiCrAlY coatings caused the formation of nickel aluminides besides the formation of Y−Al compounds. Gas (O2)-alloying of these coatings produces continuous and adherent (yttrium-containing) alumina and chromia layers. The effects of yttrium on the characteristics of the oxides formed in the coatings during laser glazing, laser-gas alloying, and high-temperature oxidation is discussed. This work also investigated the oxidation resistance of the laser-processed MCrAlY coatings in air and in the presence of 85 mol/o V2O5−Na2SO4 fused salt at 900°C.
