Abstract

The high temperature oxidation behavior of HVOF sprayed ceria added NiCrAlY coatings on superalloys has been studied. Oxidation kinetics of the bare and coated superalloys in air at 900 °C under cyclic conditions was investigated. X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray mapping were used to analyse the scales formed on the surface of the oxidised samples. The NiCrAlY–0.4 wt.% CeO2 coated specimen showed negligible microspalling of the scales. The incorporation of ceria in NiCrAlY powder has contributed to the development of adherent oxide scale, in the coating, at elevated temperature and provided the better oxidation resistance.
