Abstract: The sputtered nanocrystalline coating of K38G alloy was obtained by magnetron sput-tering. The hot corrosion behaviors of cast K38G alloy and its sputtered nanocrys-talline coating by pre-deposited 75wt%Na2SO4+25wt%K2SO4 at 900℃ were studied.The results indicated the occurrence of internal sulfidation in the cast K38G alloy withpre-deposited sulfattes of 0.8 and 3.0mg/cm2. However, the internal sulfidation wasnot observed in the coating with pre-deposited 0. 8mg/cm2 sulfate. The hot corrosionresistance of K38G alloy was clearly enhanced through nanocrystallinzation, althoughthe internal sulfides were still formed for the coating with sulfate deposit of 3mg/cm2.The relevant hot corrosion mechanism was also discussed.

Key words: K38G, sputtered nanocrystalline coating, hot corrosion
