Abstract
Abstract Coatings for iron-, nickel- and cobalt-base superalloys. The coatings are applied in order to provide good oxidation and/or sulfidation and thermal fatigue resistance for the substrates to which the coatings are applied. The coatings consist essentially of, by weight, 10 to 50% chromium, 3 to 15% aluminum, 0.1 to 10% manganese, up to 8% tantalum, up to 5% tungsten, up to 5% reactive metal from the group consisting of lanthanum, yttrium and other rare earth elements, up to 5 percent of rare earth and/or refractory metal oxide particles, up to 12% silicon, up to 10% hafnium, and the balance selected from the group consisting of nickel, cobalt and iron, and combinations thereof. Additions of titanium up to 5% and noble metals up to 15% are also contemplated.
