Abstract: | The possibility of protecting nickel-based alloys against carburization using NiAl layers is discussed. NiAl layers were produced using the chemical vapour deposition reaction: The kinetics of growth of an NiAl layer on nickel and the nickel-based alloys Hastelloy X, IN-738LC and IN-617 in the temperature range 1173–1373 K at total pressures ranging from 100 to 800 mbar are described.No carbon uptake occurs in the layer or in the bulk alloy, because of the formation of an α-Al2O3 oxide layer in CH4H2 gas mixtures with carbon activities from 0.2 to 0.8 and at temperatures of up to 1273 K. Al2O3 formation is caused by the presence of oxygen as an impurity in the CH4H2 gas mixtures. |
