Nickel–aluminide foams were synthesized from unalloyed nickel foams by using a two-step, high-activity pack-aluminizing process at 1273 K. After processing, the nickel–aluminide foams exhibited the original structure of the original nickel foams (open-cells with hollows struts and low density). Single-phase NiAl foams, with average composition within 1 wt.% of stoichiometry and with 92% open po...

Abstract: nanocrystalline nickel samples with the grain size of ~25 nm were prepared via direct current electrodeposition andaluminized for different durations by pack cementation method at 500 means of SEM, EDS and XRD techniques. According to results, short time aluminizing resulted in the formation of asingle aluminide layer whereas at long duration two distinct aluminide layers were formed....

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), consisting of physical vapor deposited (PVD) partially stabilized zir-conia (PSZ, 8 wt. %Y203) and a diffusion aluminide bond coat, were characterized as a function of time after oxidative isothermal heat treatment at 1373 K in air. The experimental characterizations was conducted by X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy-d...

in this research, mechanical alloying was used to produce ti-50al, ti-45al-5cr and ti-45al-5w (at%) alloys. the effect of ternary addition (cr and w) on microstructure and production efficiency of tial alloy were investigated. alloying was performed in a planetary mill and the milling time varying from 5 to 70h. the structural evaluation in these powders was done by x-ray diffraction (xrd) tech...

Aluminide coating is prepared on K438 Ni-based superalloy by pack cementation. The hot corrosion test of as-received and pre-oxidation aluminide in Na 2 SO 4 salt are carried out at 1050°C. morphologies, phase composition, products characterized XRD, SEM, EDS, TEM. conclusion that the has excellent properties. After corrosion, oxide scale thinnest maintains good integrity. However, fluctuates g...
