The effect of vacuum heat treatment on the oxidation behavior of the sputtered NiCrAlY coating has been investigated. The as-sputtered NiCrAlY coating consists of γ-Ni and b-NiAl phases. After vacuum heat treatment, the sputtered NiCrAlY coating mainly consists of γ'-Ni3Al, β-NiAl, γ-Ni, and trace of α-Al2O3 phases. The isothermal oxidation of sputtered NiCrAlY coating with and without vacuum heat treatment has been performed at 1000℃. It is shown that a-Al2O3 formed during vacuum heat treatment acts as nuclei for the formation of a-Al2O3, and the protective a-Al2O3 scale is formed more rapidly on the vacuum heat treated NiCrAlY coating than that formed on the untreated coating. Also the a-Al2O3 scale has a better adherence to the vacuum heat treated NiCrAlY coating. Therefore the vacuum heat treatment improves the oxidation resistance of sputtered NiCrAlY coating.展开更多
