Method of producing nickel base alloy structure with NiAl coating

摘要

A structure comprising a main body formed of a nickel base alloy, and a NiAl coating applied to the main body, wherein the NiAl coating includes a nickel rich NiAl layer and an aluminum rich NiAl layer and the thickness ratio of the nickel rich NiAl layer to the whole NiAl coating is in a range between 20 and 40%. A method of applying an aluminum coating to a nickel base alloy comprising the steps of forming an aluminide layer of Ni2Al3 on the surface portion of the nickel base alloy by the diffusion and penetration of aluminum, and subjecting the alumide layer to heat treatment to change the aluminide layer to a monoaluminide layer and making the thickness ratio of a nickel rich NiAl layer to the whole monoaluminide layer be in the range between 20 and 40%.
