Microstructure and oxidation behaviour of Fe–Cr–silicide coating on a niobium alloy

Md. Zafir Alam; S. Sarin; Mahesh K. Kumawat; D.K. Das

The cyclic oxidation performance of a Fe–Cr-modified silicide coating on Nb-alloy C-103 was evaluated in air at temperatures between 1100 and 1500°C and the microstructural changes examined. The coating was oxidation resistant and the duration of protection increased from 60 minutes at 1100°C to 255 minutes at 1500°C. The formation of the surface glassy silica layer and its ability to heal the cracks in the coating enhanced the oxidation performance at high temperatures. The outer NbSi2 layer served as a reservoir of Si and sustained the formation of the protective silica scale. Spallation of the silica scale and the concomitant depletion of the NbSi2 layer towards the regeneration of the silica scale limit the oxidation life of the coating.
