This paper summarises the scientific effort made during the last decades by the materials
science community to understand, evaluate and improve the behaviour of aluminide …

A theoretical analysis is provided to relate the coating layer growth kinetics to the pack
chemical composition and processing conditions under a set of defined thermodynamic and …

The exposition of metallic materials to high temperature environments leads to their
corrosion because of oxidation or sulphidation. One way to protect such materials is to …

A novel plasma aluminum-nitriding technology was primarily developed by depositing an
aluminum hydroxide film on the surface of 42CrMo samples through electrolyzing aluminum …

The present work concerns the formation and modelling of aluminide diffusion coatings onto
nickel and nickel alloys by means of a fluidised bed chemical vapour deposition (FBCVD) …

The deposition of Al on ferritic steels coupons by chemical vapor deposition in fluidized bed
reactors (CVD-FBR) was studied. Before performing the experiments, thermochemical …

Abstract Aluminizing of Fe and Ni-based substrates is a conventional process often made by
gas phase related techniques (CVD, pack cementation and above the pack), whereby the …

The isothermal oxidation behaviour of ultrafast slurry aluminized pure nickel was studied
between 900 and 1100° C in air for 100 h. The microstructure and composition of the …

Slurry aluminide coatings were elaborated on IN-800HT and HR3C austenitic stainless
steels (ASS) and on P92 ferritic-martensitic steels. The thermal treatments conducted in Ar …

A pack cementation process was developed to coat commercial 9% Cr ferritic–martensitic
steel T91 at temperatures below its normal tempering temperature to avoid any potential …
