Aluminide coatings on Inconel 617 obtained by slurry method with inorganic binder
Journal Title: Journal of Achievements in Materials and Manufacturing Engineering - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 85
Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to manufacture and examine the structure of aluminide coatings formed on Ni-based super alloy Inconel 617 in an argon atmosphere. Design/methodology/approach: The coatings were produced by the slurry method at temperatures from 900 to 1100°C and times from 2 to 6 hours. The newly-developed slurry composition was: powders of aluminium and silicon; NaCl, KCl, NaF halide salts as an activator and a water solution of a soluble glass as an inorganic binder. The microstructure (SEM), chemical composition (EDS) and phase composition (XRD) of the coatings were determined. Additionally the correlation between the technological parameters and the coating thickness was analysed. Findings: Slurry aluminide coatings with newly-developed composition have been successfully produced. The obtained coatings had a multi-zone structure depending on manufacturing parameters. Research limitations/implications: The next stage of this research will be to determine the performance of the coatings under high temperature cyclic oxidation. Optimization of the production parameters will therefore be possible after oxidation and cyclic oxidation tests. Practical implications: The slurry method is economical due to low consumption of powder material. Another advantage of the applied slurry composition is the possibility of forming protective coatings on other substrates. Originality/value: The use of the inorganic binder in the slurry allowed to produce the coatings in one single step without additional annealing at an intermediate temperature as it is when applied organic binder. The grain size of aluminium and silicon powders was less than usually used. The applied activator dissolved the passive layers present on the surface both of the aluminum powder and of the nickel alloy and accelerated the reactions that occur during coating formation.
