A method and composition are provided for coating honeycomb seals (10) and, more specifically, to a method and slurry for applying an aluminide coating (20) onto honeycomb seals (10). The method includes preparing a slurry of a powder containing a metallic aluminum alloy having a melting temperature higher than aluminum, an activator capable of forming a reactive halide vapor with the metallic aluminum, and a binder containing an organic polymer. The slurry is applied to surfaces of the honeycomb seal (10), which is then heated to burn off the binder, vaporize and react the activator with the metallic aluminum to form the halide vapor, react the halide vapor at the substrate surfaces to deposit aluminum on the surfaces of the seal (10), and diffuse the deposited aluminum into the surfaces to form a diffusion aluminide coating (20). |
