1. Microstructure of Alumina (Al2O3) Grown by Oxidation of FeCrAl Alloys and by Chemical Vapour Deposition
Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of two parts: the detailed microstructure of (i) CVD alumina multilayer coatings, and (ii) alumina scales formed on three different FeCrAl alloys. The coatings and oxide scales were characterized by using analytical electron microscopy and different surface analysis techniques. LÄS MER
2. Microstructure and plastic deformation of textured CVD alumina coatings
Sammanfattning : It is known that the wear performance of α-alumina coatings produced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is significantly influenced by the type and degree of texture. However, the main reasons behind this behavior are not fully understood. This thesis contains studies of two related topics for increasing the understanding of α-alumina coatings. LÄS MER
3. Oxidation behaviour of MCrAlX coatings : effect of surface treatment and an Al-activity based life criterion
Sammanfattning : MCrAlY coatings (M=Ni and/or Co) have been widely used for the protection of superalloy components against oxidation and hot corrosion in the hot sections of gas turbines. The drive to improve engine combustion efficiency while reducing emissions by increasing the operation temperature brings a big challenge for coating design. LÄS MER
4. Performance of MCrAlX coatings : Oxidation, Hot corrosion and Interdiffusion
Sammanfattning : MCrAlY coatings (M=Ni and/or Co) are widely used for the protection of superalloy components against oxidation and hot corrosion in the hot sections of gas turbines. The drive for coating systems to bestow adequate oxidation and corrosion resistance upon the components becomes urgent as an inevitable result of the necessary improvement in engine combustion efficiency and service lifetime.

5. Is water a crucial factor in the oxidation of FeCrAl alloys?
Sammanfattning : FeCrAl alloys are much used at high temperatures because the formation of a dense and slow-growing alumina scale provides resistance towards oxidation and high temperature corrosion. While the FeCrAl alloys are primarily intended for temperatures above 950ºC, they are sometimes used at lower temperature, for example as supports in automotive catalysts. LÄS MER
