Abstract
To understand the effect of grain refinement on the thermally grown alumina scale adhesion to the metal substrate, two δ-Ni2Al3 coatings, one coarse-grained (â¼70 μm) and the other ultrafine-grained (generally below â¼500 nm), were prepared. The cyclic oxidation in air at 1100 °C shows that the ultrafine-grained (UFG) coating is better oxidation resistant than the coarse-grained (CG) coating due to the formation of a more adherent alumina scale. The latter is intrinsically correlated with the fact that the aluminide grain refinement helps to increase the oxide/metal strength through a route to prevent the formation of large-sized voids at the interface.
