Erosion-corrosion in a laboratory-scale coal-firing FBC of various aluminized coatings prepared by low-temperature pack cementation

►δ-Ni2Al3 coatings were fabricated on a carbon steel by aluminizing at 600 °C. ►CeO2-dispersed δ-Ni2Al3 had a very high hardness. ►CeO2-dispersed δ-Ni2Al3 had an excellent E-C resistance in a coal-firing FBC.
