Abstract: B-Y doped silicon compound coating was prepared on surface of TiAlNb9 alloy by pack cementation process with 15Si-4B-8NaF-2Y2O3-71Al2O3(mass fraction, %), the structure and phase composition of the co-deposition coating were analyzed by means of scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry and electron probe, and the thermal impact properties of Si-B-Y co-deposition coating and TiAlNb9 substrate were compared. The results show that the Si-B-Y co-deposition coating prepared by holding at 1050 ℃ for 6 h has an uniform and dense composite structure with a thickness of about 14 μm. The outer layer consists of TiB2 and (Ti, Nb)Si2 phases, the middle layer consists of (Ti, Nb)5Si3 phase, and the inner layer consists of TiAl2 and small amounts of TiB phases. Under the thermal impact at 1000 ℃, the substrate cracks in the TiAlNb9 alloy continue to grow, and there are bifurcated cracks in the middle, the penetrating cracks appear after 47 times of thermal impact. However, the Si-B-Y co-deposition coating has a long crack initiation time, the initiation of cracks is frequent and dispersive, and with the increase of the number of thermal impact, several small cracks finally merge into one place and penetrate through the substrate after 59 times of thermal impact, but the cracks do not extend horizontally at the interface of the film base, and the whole deposition layer does not fall off, indicating that Si-B-Y co-deposition coating can improve the thermal impact property of the TiAlNb9 alloy to a certain extent.
