A coating of Ni aluminide/Ni or TiAl 3 bilayer on a TiAl substrate was formed by the electrodeposition of Ni with a different deposition time and the electrodeposition of Al using a molten salt electrolyte. The electrodeposition of Al was carried out using a potentiostatic polarization method in molten NaCl KCl AlF 3 at 1023 K. By this electrodeposition treatment, surface layers mainly consisting of Ni 2 Al 3 and intermediate layers consisting of Ni or TiAl 3 were formed. The cyclic oxidation resistance of these specimens was examined in air at 1323 K. As a result, for the specimens with a thick Ni layer as the intermediate layer, an exfoliation of the coating was observed and the mass reduction due to spalling of an oxide scale was observed. On the other hand, for the specimens with TiAl 3 or thin Ni layer as the intermediate layer, the exfoliation of the coating was not observed and a high cyclic oxidation resistance was observed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
