Popis: The service lifetime of blades and vanes in aircraft gas turbines can be influenced by the degradation of the interface of the Ni-based superalloy and the overlying aluminide coating during cyclic oxidation. Advanced superalloys and coatings rely on formation of a thin and continuous Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} film to protect the base alloy from further oxidative attack at temperatures above 980 C. In order that the Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} scale be protective, it must remain adherent to the underlying alloy under thermal cycling conditions. Recent experimental work indicates that the interfacial binding between Ni and the overlying Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} scale is initially strong, but has also been shown that segregation of indigenous sulfur to the metal/oxide interface induces premature scale spallation, apparently through a reduction in the interfacial adhesive strength with a concomitant reduction in component lifetime. Removal of the sulfur is the best solution to this problem.
