Formation of Silicide and Silicide-Aluminide Coatings on Molybdenum Alloy during Slurry Cementation Process: Influence of Slurry Volume

New slurry cementation method was used to produce silicide and silicide-aluminide protective coatings on molybdenum alloy (TZM). The slurry cementation processes were carried out at a temperature of 1000 °C in different time intervals with the use of varied slurry mass values. The microstructure and thickness of the coatings were studied by means of scanning microscopy. Chemical composition using X-ray microanalysis and phase composition using...
