11th International Conference on
Hafnium and palladium modified aluminide coatings

Hafnium or palladium modification of NiAl phase increases the oxidation resistance of aluminide coatings deposited on turbine
blades in a hot section of jet engines. Small hafnium or palladium addition to aluminide coatings decreases the oxidation rate of
turbine blades made of nickel superalloys. Small content of hafnium (0.1-1.0 % wt) improves high temperature mechanical properties
of aluminized nickel based superalloys. Palladium modification increased the outer zone hardness. It is due to the presence of the σ
and µ phases. The palladium or hafnium modified aluminide coatings have better oxidation resistance than the non-modified ones.
The use of ‘co-doping’ has recently been emphasized as a strategy for optimizing the oxidation resistance of superalloys, conventional
alloys and coatings The comparison of structures of hafnium and palladium modified aluminide coatings deposited on pure nickel
and CMSX4 nickel superalloy is presented. Aluminide layers were deposited by the Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method.
Hafnium was deposited simultaneously with aluminum. Aluminum was deposited from the AlCl3 and hafnium from the HfCl3 gas
phases. Palladiumwas deposited by the electrodeposition method. The obtained coatings were examined using an optical microscope,
a scanning electron microscope and an XRD phase analyzer. Both coatings consist of two layers; an outer, comprising the ß-NiAl
phase and the interdiffusion one. The interdiffusion layer on pure nickel consists of the γ’-Ni3Al phase, whereas on the CMSX 4 – of the
ß-NiAl phase. Small inclusions of Pd and Hf rich phases were found at the border of the layers on nickel, whereas inclusion containing
Pd, Hf and refractory elements were observed in the interdiffusion zone on the CMSX4 superalloy. The research has been supported
by the National Science Centre, Poland Grant No. 2015/19/B/ST8/01645.
