Al films were deposited on Inconel-718 using the DC magnetron sputtering at a substrate temperature of 400 °C. The evolution of phase, microstructure, surface topography, and mechanical properties of the deposited films have been characterized using XRD, FESEM, AFM, and nanoindentation, respectively. The results of nanoindentation showed that the hardness, modulus, and adhesive strength of the coatings increased with increase in Cr concentration in the host Ni

Al has resulted in providing better protection to the substrate against oxidation attacks. The surface morphology and elemental composition of the oxidized samples were investigated using FESEM and EDS to elucidate the surface scale analysis and mechanism of oxidation due to the formation of different oxide layers. |
