The diffusion aluminide coatings are used for high-temperature applications. Structural materials of particular components degrade during service due to fatigue, creep, oxidation, corrosion and erosion. The requirements of higher efficiency of modern industrial applications increase the development of new structural materials, technologies and protective coatings. Properties of many structural materials such ultimate tensile strength, creep strength and fatigue are generally optimized for maximum high-carrying loading with less emphasis on environmental resistance. For these applications, the performance characteristics are limited by the operating conditions, which can be tolerated by the used materials. The main structural materials for high mechanical and thermal loading are superalloys protected against aggressive environment by coatings. Cyclic oxidation is the superposition of thermal cycles in an oxidation environment. The main goal of the experimental work was to compare the cyclic oxidation of protective Al and AlSi coatings deposited on both Inconel 713 LC and MAR-M247 superalloys. The resulting graph revealed that samples from IN 713 LC without coating show good resistance and their mass change is maintained above zero limit. Samples from MAR 247 LC with both Al and AlSi coatings appear to be the most acceptable selection of combination relating to superalloys/coating.
