Abstract

Two MCrAlY coatings with the same nominal composition but different microstructures are prepared by magnetron sputtering (MS) and arc ion plating (AIP). Their oxidation at 1000°C led to very different results. The relatively coarse grained AIP coating formed a duplex-layer scale, consisting of external θ-Al 2O 3 and internal α-Al 2O 3, with small amounts of NiCr 2O 4 . Severe surface undulation was accompanied by the development of numerous cracks and voids. Aluminum depletion transformed the AIP coating from β to γ, causing volume shrinkage, promoting scale spallation and leading to premature failure. In contrast, the nanocrystalline MS coating was less degraded due to its columnar crystal structure and high-density of grain boundaries which provided rapid Al diffusion. Oxidation of this coating was characterized by a faster θ-Al 2O 3 to α-Al 2O 3 transformation and formation of an exclusive α-Al 2O 3 scale, protecting the surface.
