Abstract

For the purpose of improving the cyclic oxidation resistance of Ni-base superalloy, Inconel 600, aluminide coating methods are studied. The formation rate of aluminide coating layers is measured as a function of time and pack composition to find out the optimum coating condition. The evaluation of cyclic oxidation is established by the change in weight, the microphotography and EPMA of cross sectional area during $200^{circ}C;{leftrightarrow};950^{circ}C;and;200^{circ}C;{leftrightarrow};1100^{circ}C$, respectively. The thickness of coating layer and weight gains are parabolic behavior in propotion to time and Al contents. In pack of low aluminum contents, 2 wt%, however, weight gain is decreased when activator, $NH_4Cl$ is higher than 2 wt%. The cyclic oxidation resistance of the coating carried out at 1100$^{circ}C$ are superior to those of the coating diffusion-treated after pack cementation at 800$^{circ}C$. Aluminide oxide, which is formed in external scale, is barrier to the cyclic oxidation.
