Abstract
The adhesion of alumina scale to the metal substrate Zr-doped β-NiAl is studied to determine the effects of the alloy substrate and bond coat on the adhesion. Three general factors contributed to the ideal scale formation and adhesion: no major redistribution of alloying elements within the metal substrate; segregation of Zr to the metal-scale interface and the scale grain boundaries; and ability to tolerate stresses generated in the scale. Several potential strategies are suggested to form more adherent alumina scales in practical thermal barrier coating systems: add more Al to aluminide coatings; investigate bond coat microstructures or phases; identify the elements detrimental to scale adhesion; and add reactive elements to PtAl coatings.
