The study was concerned with heat-protection of the IN 100 nickel superalloy by covering it with a diffusive beta-NiAl intermetallic layer produced by the CVD method. Oxidation resistance tests were conducted at 950 degrees C in air. The alloy samples, with and without the intermetallic layer, were subjected to 24 heating-cooling cycles each lasting for 24 h and then their oxidation resistance was compared. During the oxidation tests, the stress induced in the coatings was analyzed by the finite element method which was also used for monitoring the growth of the alpha-Al2O3 scale during the successive thermal cycles (birth & death element analysis). The aluminum oxide scale appeared to be continuous and compact. The stress level depended on the surface roughness of the interface between the intermetallic layer and the oxide scale and was the highest in the region of its surface peaks and the lowest in the valleys where it was compressive. The coatings composed of the diffusive beta-NiAl intermetallic layer, about 11 mu m thick, and the alpha-Al2O3 scale had a high thermal shock resistance and very good corrosion resistance.
