To improve the adherence of the oxide scale formed on a γ'-Ni3Al alloy,a novel Ni3Al fine-grained coating(average grain size: 450 nm) was developed by annealing an electrodeposited Ni-Al composite(average grain size of Ni and Al: 1 um) in a vacuum at 600℃ for 2h.The Ni3Al coating formed from common coarse grains had a homogeneous distribution of fine pores which gave a porosity of 6%.The cyclic oxidation resistance of the coating at 900℃ was greatly increased compared with that of a conventionally coarse-grained Ni3Al alloy(average grain size: 300 um) due to the formation of a continuous and adherent Al2O3 scale.The main reason for the increased scale adhesion lies in that the fine-grained structure improved the strength of the scale/coating interface by preventing the formation of large-sized voids.
