Abstract

Modified silicide coating was prepared on an Nb-Ti-Si based alloy by a two-step pack cementation process including first siliconizing and then aluminizing. The two-step coating is composed of an Al-rich outermost layer, a (Nb,X)Si2 outer layer and a (Ti,Nb)5Si4 inner layer. The coating possesses an enhanced oxidation resistance at 1250°C due to the presence of the Al-rich outermost layer. The mass gain of the coating after oxidation at 1250°C for 100h is 3.7mg/cm2, and a duplex scale consisting of an Al2O3 outer layer and a SiO2-matrix inner layer forms.
