Abstract

This paper discusses the sulphidation/oxidation protection offered by multilayer CrAlYN/CrN coatings etched by Cr, CrAl and Y ions, deposited by a combined high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HIPIMS)/unbalanced magnetron sputtering (UBM) technique on a Ti–45Al–8Nb alloy (at%). The test was performed at 750 °C in an environment of H2/H2S/H2O yielding low oxygen (10−18 Pa) and high sulphur (10−1 Pa) partial pressures for up to 1000 h. The results show that all the exposed materials underwent uneven degradation; some places developed a thin protective oxide scale (Al,Cr)2O3 with a tiny sulphur content, whilst others developed a porous non-protective TiO2 + Al2O3 scale as well with a tiny sulphur content.
