| Popis: | Novel refractory disilicide layers were applied to γ-TiAl to enhance oxidation resistance at 1050 °C. NbSi2 and MoSi2 layers were prepared by joining thin Nb and Mo foils to γ-TiAl surfaces, and siliconizing the combinations (Nb/γ-TiAl, and Mo/γ-TiAl) using molten salts. The coatings and their oxidation behavior were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy techniques. Isothermal oxidation tests showed that the oxidation resistance of uncoated γ-TiAl at 1050 °C in air was insufficient, and scale spallation occurred. NbSi2 coatings were formed and adhered firmly to the γ-TiAl substrate, whereas Mo film detached from the substrate surface causing failure of the MoSi2 coatings. Oxidation of the NbSi2-coated γ-TiAl (NbSi2/Nb/γ-TiAl) at 1050 °C in air showed improved oxidation resistance at exposure times up to 100 h. Microstructural and compositional developments of the coating at prolonged time were discussed. The NbSi2 coatings provided sufficient oxidation resistance for γ-TiAl at 1050 °C in air, and have potential use in high temperature applications. |
