Popis: Thermochemical analyses were carried out for a series of pack powder mixtures formulated for codepositing Al with Cr to form diffusion coatings on γ-TiAl resistant to high temperature oxidation by the pack cementation process. Based on the results obtained, experimental studies were undertaken to identify optimum pack powder mixtures for codepositing Al with Cr to form diffusion coatings with an adherent and coherent coating structure. The results of the thermochemical calculations performed indicated that codeposition of Al and Cr is possible with CrCl3.6H2O and AlCl3 activated pack powders containing elemental Al and Cr as depositing sources. However, experimental results obtained at 1100°C revealed that CrCl3.6H2O is not suitable for use as an activator for codepositing Al with Cr on γ-TiAl. It caused a significant degree of degradation indicated by weight losses instead of coating deposition to the substrate. However, adherent coatings with excellent structural integrity consisting of an outer...
