“…The modified aluminide coatings improve the gas turbine performance by increasing turbine inlet temperature (TIT) and prolong the time between overhauls (TBO) of them [20,21]. Conventional aluminide coatings have been modified by adding beneficial elements such as chromium, silicon, cobalt, and platinum [17,[22][23][24][25] or by doping reactive elements (REs), e.g., hafnium, zirconium, cerium, lanthanum, yttrium, and other REs by using numerous techniques such as pack cementation, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), slurry, or co-diffusion methods [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. Nonetheless, the addition of silicon into conventional aluminide coatings enhances the resistance against carburization, hot corrosion, and high-temperature oxidation [16,35,36].…”
