Metals and Materials International Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Nb-based alloys are regarded as a vital high temperature structural material. Unfortunately, the low oxidation resistance of the alloys limits their application under aerobic conditions at high temperature. Surface coating technology is considered to be an ideal method to solve this problem. This paper reviewed recent progress on silicide coatings on Nb and Nb-based alloy, and focused on different types of modification techniques. The microstructure, phase composition and oxidation properties of various silicified coatings are analyzed. The effects of modified elements and second phase on the oxidation mechanism of silicide coatings are also summarized. Finally, the existing problems and future development direction of various silicide coatings are pointed out.
