摘要

TiAl alloys are promising for high-temperature applications but suffer from poor hot corrosion resistance. In this study, a silicon-aluminizing coating and a duplex coating consisting of a silicon-aluminizing inner layer and an yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) top layer were prepared on γ-TiAl alloy. Their hot corrosion behaviors were investigated in Na2SO4 and Na2SO4 + NaCl molten salts at 900 °C. The results showed that both coatings significantly reduced the corrosion rate compared to the bare alloy. The addition of NaCl accelerated the degradation of the silicon-aluminizing coating but had limited effect on the duplex coating. The duplex coating exhibited superior performance due to the YSZ layer, which acted as a physical barrier, preventing direct contact between the molten salt and the inner coating, thereby suppressing the dissolution of the protective Al2O3 scale and Al depletion.
