“…MCrAlY (M = Ni and/or Co) coatings, with good balance between oxidation-resistance, corrosion resistance and ductility, are widely utilized on blades and other high temperature components in gas turbine engines both as standalone coatings and as bond coats for thermal barrier coating systems (TBCs) [1][2][3]. During long-term service at high temperature atmosphere, the protection effect of MCrAlY coatings is impaired by elemental interdiffusion between the coatings and the substrate [4][5][6].…”
