Abstract

The high temperature sulphidation/oxidation behaviour of three multilayered coatings CrAlYN/CrN etched by Y+, CrAlYN/CrN etched by Cr+ and CrAlYN/CrN etched CrAl+ and the uncoated γ-TiAl (Ti–45Al–8Nb (at-%) used as reference sample was studied at 850°C for 675 h. Sulphidation/oxidation test was performed in the environment of H2/H2S/H2O, yielding pS2 = 10−1 Pa and pO2 = 10−18 Pa. Kinetic data obtained by discontinuous gravimetric method showed that the multilayered coatings effectively enhanced the sulphidation/oxidation resistance of γ-TiAl alloy. The corrosion resistance decreasing in order: CrAlYN/CrN etched by Y+>CrAlYN/CrN etched by CrAl+>CrAlYN/CrN etched by Cr+>γ-TiAl. Scale development studies using SEM, EDX and X-ray diffraction confirmed two regions of the coated materials: ‘affected,’ where coating cracked and developed non-protective TiO2 scale, and ‘unaffected,’ where protective (Al,Cr)2O3 scale formed. The uncoated γ-TiAl material, after exposure, showed a typical multilayered structure consisting of layers of TiO2 and Al2O3.
