Electro-codeposition of MCrAlY Coatings for Advanced Gas Turbine Applications - 3rd Quarterly Research Report

This NASF-AESF Foundation research project report covers the third quarter of project work (July-September 2018) on this AESF Foundation Research project at the Tennessee Technological University. The objective of the work is to study and optimize the MCrAlY electro-codeposition process to improve the coating oxidation/corrosion performance.  In this quarter, studies continued on the effect of current density on CrAlY particle incorporation in electro-codeposited Ni-CrAlY composite coatings, focusing on the current density range of 20 to 60 mA/cm2.
