The influence of two different fluoride-based activator salts (NH4F and AlF3) was studied for diffusion aluminide coatings obtained via pack cementation on a Ni-based superalloy (René 108DS). resistance to oxidation hot corrosion assessed as function the concentration used during synthesis process by means cementation. Two concentrations were selected (respecting equimolarity fluoride in synthe...

In order to enhance the performance of interconnects which are used in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), a protective/conductive coating can be applied. In this research AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel was coated in a Mn-base pack mixture by pack cementation method. In order to evaluate the oxidation behavior, isothermal oxidation was accomplished for 200 h at 800 ºC. Electrical behavior was al...

In this Study, surface of medium carbon steel (AISI 1045) was modified by titanizing followed by plasma nitriding. Titanizing was performed using pack cementation method, in a pack mixture of ferrotitanium, ammonium chloride and alumina, at 1223 K for 45 and 180 min.  Plasma-nitriding was conducted at two temperatures of 803 and 823 K for 5 h, in a gas mixture of 75%N2+25%H2. The samples were c...
