Abstract

Silicide/aluminide composite coatings were prepared on an Nb-Ti-Si based alloy by a two-step pack cementation process including siliconizing firstly and then aluminizing. The siliconized coating is composed of a thick (Nb,X)Si2 outer layer and a thin (Ti,Nb)5Si4 inner layer. During the aluminizing process, the original (Nb,X)Si2 outer layer retains and Al moves through it to form an Al3(Nb,X) layer beneath it. Besides, a thin Al3(Nb,X) outermost layer also forms above the (Nb,X)Si2 layer. This composite coating possesses good oxidation resistance at 1250°C within 50h, and a double-layered scale with an Al2O3 outer layer and a SiO2-matrix inner layer forms.
