Service damage mechanism and interface cracking behavior of Ni-based superalloy turbine blades with aluminized coating

The service damage mechanism of K403 Ni-based superalloy turbine blade with the aluminized coating are investigated systematically. Fracture morphologies are inspected with a failure event, and the microscopic damage mechanisms are explored based on the aluminized blades with different operation times. It concludes that the formation of massive pores, aggregation of bulk carbides, coarsening and breaking of σ phases, development of continuous γ′...
