The microstructure of diffusion aluminide coatings on a Ni based alloy
The microstructures of both aluminide and platinum alumidide diffusion coatings on a single crystal Ni-based superalloy have been characterised in the 'as received' as well as the degraded state. X-Ray diffraction and a wide range of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques includ...

The microstructures of both aluminide and platinum alumidide diffusion coatings on a single crystal Ni-based superalloy have been characterised in the 'as received' as well as the degraded state.

A martensitic transformation from the β-phase of the coating which occurs as a result of a loss of aluminium during its degradation was examined in depth. This transformation from the B2 structure to a twinned form of the L1<SUB>0</SUB> structure was compared to a similar and related transformation which is known to occur for the binary β-NiA1 phase on cooling.
