Abstract
A nickel-based superalloy part includes a nickel-based superalloy substrate, and a metal sublayer covering the substrate, wherein the metal sublayer includes a first and a second layer, the first layer being located between the substrate and the second layer, the first layer including a first γ′-Ni3Al phase and a second γ-Ni phase, the second layer including a first γ′-Ni3Al phase, a second γ-Ni phase and a third β-NiAl phase, the average atomic fraction of aluminum in the second layer being strictly greater than the average atomic fraction of aluminum in the first layer.

A nickel-based superalloy part comprising:
- a nickel-based superalloy substrate;
- and
- a metal sublayer covering the substrate,
- wherein the metal sublayer comprises a first and a second layer, said first layer being located between the substrate and the second layer, said first layer comprising a first γ′-Ni3Al phase and a second γ-Ni phase, said second layer comprising a first γ′-Ni3Al phase, a second γ-Ni phase and a third β-NiAl phase, an average atomic content of aluminum in the second layer being greater than the average atomic content of aluminum in the first layer, and in which a total content of γ-Ni in the metal sublayer is comprised between 5.0% and 20.0% by mass, a total content of γ′-Ni3Al in the metal sublayer is comprised between 40.0% and 90.0% by mass and a total content of β-NiAl in the metal sublayer is comprised between 5.0% and 40.0% by mass relative to the total weight of the sublayer,
- wherein the first layer comprises a plurality of first areas, wherein a lowermost area of the plurality of first areas comprises an average atomic content of aluminum greater than an average atomic content of aluminum of the substrate, wherein an aluminum content difference between the substrate and the lowermost area of the plurality of first areas is up to 4%, and each remaining first area of the plurality of first layers comprising an average content of aluminum greater than an average atomic content of aluminum of an area directly below, wherein each aluminum content difference is up to 4%, said first areas having a thickness of 1 μm to 5 μm, and
- wherein the second layer comprises a plurality of second areas, wherein a lowermost area of the plurality of second areas comprises an average atomic content of aluminum greater than an average atomic content of aluminum of an uppermost area of the plurality of first areas, wherein an aluminum content difference between the uppermost area of the plurality of first areas and the lowermost area of the plurality of second areas is up to 4%, and each remaining second area of the plurality of second layers comprising an average content of aluminum greater than an average atomic content of aluminum of an area directly below, wherein each aluminum content difference is up to 4%, said second areas having a thickness of 1 μm to 5 μm.
