The formation of diffusion coatings on some low-alloy steels and their high temperature oxidation behaviour: Part 1 diffusion coatings

The thermal stability of aluminised coatings on Fe-alloys containing Ni, Si and Cr and of chromised coatings on Fe-alloys containing Ni and Si has been studied. The results indicate that thermal stability is affected mainly by phase equilibria and diffusion paths have been plotted on the appropriate ternary diagrams.
