Abstract

Pack aluminization of Ni-based superalloy 690 substrates in low-Al pack at 1273 K resulted in formation of NiAl on the topmost surface and nickel aluminides as adjoining layers. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy of NiAl revealed formation of nanoparticles of NiAl. Adherence test conducted at 3 N load along the cross-section of aluminized substrate did not exhibit any peeling off at the interlayer. First-principle calculations performed on Cr-doped Ni(111)/NiAl(110) interface showed an ideal work of adhesion value of 3524 mJ/m2 indicating fairly strong adhesion. SEM–EDS analysis along the cross-section of aluminized and oxidized (1273 K in air) substrate revealed formation of aluminium oxide on nickel aluminide. SEM–EDS analysis of oxidized nickel aluminide layer that was exposed to borosilicate melt at 1248 K for 192 h revealed fairly good stability of aluminide but presence of some phase comprising Al, Ni, O, Cr at certain locations of aluminide/glass interface was noticed.
