EFFECTS OF HEAT TREATMENTS ON ALUMINUM OXIDE COATINGS DEPOSITED ON Ni-BASED ALLOY
Abstract
AlxOy films coated on both Ni-based superalloy and silica substrates were prepared by DC reactive magnetron sputtering. Post-deposition annealing was carried out on those as-deposited films. And then 1 h heat treatments were done on the annealed films at constant temperatures ranging from 600–900°C to simulate the high-temperature application. The AlxOy film heated at 600°C exhibited good film property. Bonding strength between the 600°C-heated AlxOy film and the Ni-based substrate was about 11.6 MPa.
