Oxidation Behevior of Pd-Modified Aluminide Coating at High Temperature
Oxidation Behavior of Pd-Modified Aluminide Coating at High Temperature

(Ni,Pd)Al coating, prepared by low pressure pack cementation on the Ni-base superalloy M38 where Pd-20 wt pct Ni alloy was predeposited, consists of a single β-(Ni,Pd)Al phase. The initial isothermal oxidation behavior of (Ni,Pd)Al coating was investigated by TGA, XRD, SEM/EDS at 800～1100℃. Results show that oxidation kinetics accord preferably with parabolic law at 800, 900 and 1100℃, but not at 1000℃.θ-Al2O3 was observed at 800～1100℃. It is found that Pd plays an important role in accelerating the diffusion of Ti from the substrate to the coating surface in the aluminide coating.
