Two types of MCrAlY coatings NiCoCrAlY and NiCoCrAlYHfSi were deposited on DD6 specimens by electron beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) and low pressure plasma spray (LPPS) respectively. The coating surface
cross-section morphologies and phase structures of the specimens were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS)
electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA) and X ray diffraction (XRD) after 1100℃ cyclic oxidation for different time. The utilization of NiCoCrAlY and NiCoCrAlYHfSi coatings prominently enhance the oxidation resistance of DD6 alloy. After 100h oxidation
α-Al2O3 is still the major phase in the oxide scales formed on the coated specimens. Inter-diffusion occurs between the coatings and the substrate
which leads to the formation of the interdifusion zone (IDZ) and second reaction zone (SRZ). The rod-like TCP phase and the granular TCP phases precipitated in the SRZ
which are rich in W
Re
Mo. Reactive elements (RE) Si
Hf have suppression action on the formation of Cr-rich phase and the growth rate of TGO.
