Abstract: In this paper, Ni-Cr-Al-Y-Si coating deposited by vacuum are deposition on the Ni_3Alalloy IC6, the typical use of which is for turbine blades and vanes, was examined.The results of the tests show that the tensile properties at room temperature and stress rupture properties at 1100℃ of the IC6 alloy were not obviously influenced by the coatings. At annealing state, limited element interdiffusion was observed. After stress rupture testing for 252 h at 1100℃/90 MPa, however,significant interdiffusion of Mo, Cr and Al took place between the coating layer and the substrate.The element diffustion did not result in the formation of brittle phases on the coating/substrate interface. No cracking and spallation in the coating were found.Therefore it can be concluded that the Ni-Cr-Al-Y-Si overlay coating was successful for protecting the IC6 alloy.
