Coatings such as NiCrA1Y, CoCrA1Y and FeCrA1Y are deposited by plasma spraying under partial pressure on commercial f.c.c. alloys of nickel, cobalt, and iron. The interdiffusion between coating and substrate is limited in the cases of NiCrA1Y/Ni base and CoCrA1Y/Co base. On the other hand, rapid diffusion of the aluminium into the substrate occurs in the system FeCrA1Y/Fe base.
When mixed systems MCrA1Y/M’ base are studied, an interdiffusion is usually observed between the elements M and M’ except in the case of the systems NiCrA1Y/Co base and FeCrA1Y/Co base where carbide diffusion barriers are formed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
