Abstract

In this study, satellited CoNiCrAlY/nano-Al2O3 feedstocks with 2 wt.% of oxide nanoparticles and pure CoNiCrAlY powder were deposited by the HVOF and LPPS processes on Inconel738 superalloy substrates. Microstructure and phase composition of powders and coatings were characterized by FESEM and XRD, respectively. The early-stage oxidation test was done at 1050 °C for 10 min. The results showed that the satelliting seems to be a promising method to produce nano-particles dispersed composite powders suitable for thermal spraying. Adding α-Al2O3 nanoparticles increased the porosity of the HVOF and LPPS coatings from 0.6 to 1 and from 2 to 2.45 vol.%, respectively. In the HVOF-sprayed CoNiCrAlY/nano-Al2O3, coating including γ-Co,Ni,Cr, β-(Co,Ni)Al, and α-Al2O3, the growth of non-protective NiO and spinel oxides was significantly limited and a dense α-Al2O3 oxide layer was promoted after the early-stage of oxidation. However, for the LPPS-deposited CoNiCrAlY/nano-Al2O3 coating consisting of γ-Co,Ni,Cr and γ-Al2O3, after oxidation, the presence of Al-rich oxides like θ-Al2O3 whiskers and porous transformed α-Al2O3 were observed on the coating. The correlation between microstructure, phase composition, and early-stage oxidation was discussed in detail.
