STRUCTURE AND PHASE COMPOSITION OF COATING ON EP718 ALLOY AFTER HOT-DIP ALUMINIZING
The results of studies of the structure, chemical and phase composition of the aluminide coating formed on the surface of EP718 alloy after its hot-dip aluminizing are presented. It is shown that the inner layer of the coating consists of a continuous layer of a solid solution based on chromium aluminide CrAl<sub>7</sub> with a monoclinic lattice, in which some of the Cr atoms are replaced by atoms of elements from the EP718 alloy, and the outer layer, which has a pronounced heterogeneous structure, is an aluminum matrix with inclusions of CrAl<sub>7</sub> aluminide. with a lower aluminum content.
