Interdiffusion in β Phase Field of Ternary (Ni, Ru)Al System
Bond coats play a vital role in multi-layered thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), commonly made of B2 (Ni, Pt)Al. However, the presence of platinum (Pt) makes the bond coats costly. To reduce the overall cost and enhance the working temperature of TBCs, Pt can be partially or completely replaced by ruthenium (Ru). For the development of Ru-based bond coats, understanding the interdiffusion behavior of (Ni, Ru)Al is essential. In the present work, the interdiffusion behavior in the single B2 phase of the ternary (Ni, Ru)Al system was studied at 1100 °C using the diffusion couple technique. Experimental concentration profiles were obtained using an Electron Probe Micro-Analyzer, which was further fitted and analyzed for interdiffusion fluxes by utilizing the Multi Diflux software. Kirkaldy's approach was employed to determine the interdiffusion coefficients in the ternary B2 (Ni, Ru)Al system.
