Abstract
An alloy based on Fe, Co or Ni, and including Al, is provided with improved environmental resistance through the inclusion in the composition of the combination of 0.1-10 weight percent Hf and 0.5-20 wt. % of an element selected from Pt, Rh and Pd. The combination is particularly useful in providing an article coated with such alloy.
Claims5
A metallic article comprising a substrate selected from the group consisting of Fe, Co and Ni base alloys, said substrate having diffused thereon an alloy consisting essentially of, by weight, 8-30% Al, 0.1-10% Hf, 0.5-20% of an element selected from the group consisting of Pt, Rh and Pd, up to 30% Y and the balance an element selected from the group consisting of Ni and Co.
