SiOC coating was electrodeposited on TiAl alloy to improve the high temperature oxidation resistance. The mass gain of the compact SiOC coating is 0.06 ± 0.026 mg cm-2, which is one order of magnitude lower than that of TiAl alloy. The SiOC coating exhibits good thermal stability and partial amorphous SiOC transforms into crystal SiO 2 or SiC. After oxidation, no obvious pore can be found in the coating. Moreover, an Al 2 O 3 layer is generated due to the enrichment of Al and the low oxygen partial pressure at the coating/substrate interface, therefore improving the barrier property of the oxide scale. [Display omitted] • SiOC coating is prepared on TiAl alloy by electrodeposition. • The high temperature oxidation resistance of the TiAl alloy with the SiOC coating is dramatically improved. • Thermal exposure results in partial amorphous SiOC transforms into crystal SiO 2 or SiC. • The outward diffused Al can strengthen the network structure of the SiOC coating and establish an Al 2 O 3 intermediate layer.

Ni nanoparticle incorporated SiO 2 coating was fabricated on Ti48Al2Nb2Cr alloy by electro-codeposition. Results showed that the Ni-SiO 2 composite coating exhibits good isothermal and cyclic oxidation resistance at 900 ºC. The incorporation of Ni particles can adjust the coating thermal stress. After oxidation, no crack or pore can be found in the Ni-SiO 2 composite coating. The consumption of the inward diffused oxygen could reduce the oxygen partial pressure at the coating/substrate interface, therefore promoting the selective oxidation of Ti48Al2Nb2Cr to form Al 2 O 3. Owing to the good compatibility with SiO 2 , the oxidation product of NiO could strengthen the structure of the coating. [Display omitted] • The Ni-SiO 2 composite coating exhibits good isothermal and cyclic oxidation resistance. • The incorporated Ni particles can adjust the coating thermal stress and prevent the generation of cracks. • The inward diffused oxygen is consumed by the Ni particles, promoting the selected oxidation of Ti48Al2Nb2Cr to form α-Al 2 O 3. • The structure of the oxide scale can be improved by the oxide product of NiO.

• A glass-ceramic coating incorporated with YSZ and ZrB 2 was prepared. • An electrodeposited SiO 2 interlayer was introduced into the coating system. • The coating bulk and interfacial structures were both reinforced by the particles. • The coated TiAl alloy exhibited satisfactory oxidation resistance at 1000 ℃. With electrodeposited SiO 2 film as the interlayer, 8YSZ (8.0 wt.% Y 2 O 3 partially stabilized ZrO 2) and ZrB 2 particles co-incorporated glass-ceramic coating was fabricated on TiAl alloy. The oxidation performance and interfacial reaction behavior of this coating were studied. The compact glass-ceramic coating inhibited the inward diffusion of oxygen. The reaction between the SiO 2 interlayer and the potassium silicate coating benefited to improve the coating adhesion property and suppress the coating degradation at the coating/substrate interface. Due to the synergy of the incorporated particles and SiO 2 interlayer, both the oxidation performance and interfacial structure of the glass-ceramic coating were improved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• Electrodeposited SiO 2 coating can efficiently improve the hot corrosion resistance of TiAl alloy. • Compact and adherent corrosion scale generates during the hot corrosion process. • The dissolution of SiO 2 into the molten sodium salt leads to the generation of Na 2 Si 4 O 9. • The compact Al 2 O 3 layer at the coating/alloy interface benefits to improve the hot corrosion resistance. To improve the hot corrosion resistance, thickness controllable SiO 2 coating was electrodeposited on TiAl alloy. The hot corrosion behavior of the specimens contaminated with 75 wt.% Na 2 SO 4 + 25 wt.% NaCl salt mixture was investigated at 700 °C. Results showed that the generation of compact amorphous SiO 2 embedded with Na 2 Si 4 O 9 and cristobalite was responsible for the enhanced hot corrosion resistance. Moreover, the SiO 2 coating does not only act as a diffusion barrier to sulfur and chlorine but also decreases the oxygen partial pressure at the coating/alloy interface, therefore promoting the selective oxidation of Al to form protective Al 2 O 3 layer.
