    Cyclic oxidation and mechanical behaviour of slurry aluminide coatings for steam turbine components
    (Elsevier, 2007-04-02) Agüero, Alina; Muelas Gamo, Raúl; Gutiérrez del Olmo, Marcos; Van Vulpen, R.; Osgerby, Steve; Banks, J. P.
    The excellent steam oxidation resistance of iron aluminide coatings on ferritic steels at 650 °C has been demonstrated both by laboratory tests and field exposure. These coatings are formed by the application of an Al slurry followed by diffusion heat treatment at 700 °C for 10 h. The resulting microstructure is mostly composed of Fe2Al5 on top of a much thinner FeAl layer. This coating exhibits perpendicular cracks due to thermal expansion mismatch between coating and substrate. However, these stress relieving cracks do not seem to have an effect on the mechanical properties of the substrate. Cyclic oxidation, creep resistance and TMF testing of these coatings at 650 °C indicate excellent performance.

    Comparison between field and laboratory steam oxidation testing on aluminide coatings on P92
    (Wiley online library, 2011-01-12) Agüero, Alina; González, V; Gutiérrez del Olmo, Marcos; Knödler, R; Straub, S; Muelas Gamo, Raúl; Centro de Astrobiología del Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial y CSIC, MDM-2017-0737
    Steam oxidation has become an important issue for steam power plants as operating temperatures increase from the current 550 to 600–650 °C. For the last 10 years several groups have been carrying out steam oxidation testing of both uncoated substrates and coatings in the laboratory. On the other hand, field testing results are very scarce. In this paper, a comparison of laboratory steam oxidation testing with field test results carried out by Alstom at the Kraftwerk Westfalen power station located in Hamm, Germany will be presented. Both slurry deposited aluminide coatings and uncoated P92 steel have been included in the study. Under steam (atmospheric pressure) and isothermal conditions in the laboratory at 650 °C, spallation of oxides formed on ferritic steels occurs after significantly longer time when compared to exposure to real operating conditions. Oxide spallation results in serious damage in steam power plants by obstructing heat exchanger tubes, erosion of valves and turbine blades, etc. Moreover, the thickness of the oxide scales formed under field testing conditions is significantly higher after similar exposure. On the other hand, aluminide coated P92, which exhibit thickness through cracks, have shown to be stable in the laboratory for up to 60 000 h at 650 °C under steam, without evidence of crack propagation. However, field test results indicate that some degree of crack propagation occurs but without causing substrate attack up to 21 700 h of exposure. Moreover, the aluminium oxide observed in both laboratory and field tested specimens is different.

    Overview of steam oxidation behaviour of Al protective oxide precursor coatings on P92
    (Taylor and Francis online, 2016-03-04) Agüero, Alina; Gutiérrez del Olmo, Marcos; Muelas Gamo, Raúl; Spiradek Hahn, K.
    Future designs for steam power plants are expected to operate at 625–750°C, at which the candidate ferritic/martensitic steels exhibit insufficient steam oxidation resistance. Al-based coatings constitute an alternative to prevent or reduce oxidation. For over 50 years this type of coating has been applied on blades and vanes made of Ni- and Co-based alloys used in the hot section gas of turbines which operate at temperatures higher than 900°C. For these coatings, the mechanism of protection from high-temperature oxidation, is based on the formation and maintenance of a thin layer of dense α-Al2O3. Many articles have been written about the nature, formation and failure mechanism of oxide precursor coatings, under air, at over 900°C. [1–6] However, very little is known regarding alumina scales formed under pure steam at lower temperatures, which is the expected scenario for new steam power plants. This paper covers a recapitulation of the behaviour of Al-based protective oxides formed on coatings with various compositions under steam at 650°C, including new data relative to the formation of said oxides under steam and the microstructure of samples exposed to steam for 70 000 h. It has been shown that on Al containing coatings, such as diffusion Fe aluminides and FeCrAls, alumina forms under steam at 650°C. Provided that a critical content of Al is maintained underneath the scale, Al2O3 is very stable, surpassing 70 000 h under steam at 650°C, without evidence of spallation (testing is still ongoing). The industry target for coatings in this cases is 100 000 h. In turn, the critical Al content depends on the coating's Cr content, and if the oxidation takes place at temperatures of 900°C or higher, under air. However, under steam, alumina phases formation and transformations are different: at 650°C χ-Al2O3 forms initially, and appears to slowly transform unto α-Al2O3. General considerations regarding the stability of protective oxides formed under steam as a function of the composition of the subjacent material will be provided.

    Microstructures of thin and thick slurry aluminide coatings on Inconel 690
    (Elsevier, 2007-07-05) Juul Rasmussen, Anders; Agüero, Alina; Gutiérrez del Olmo, Marcos; Landeira Østergård, María José
    Two slurry aluminide coatings are produced on the Ni-base super alloy Inconel 690 by applying two different thicknesses of the same slurry on to the 690 substrate, followed by a two-step heat-treatment. The resulting thin aluminide coating consists of a single layer of Ni-rich β-NiAl matrix containing few large Cr precipitates with a high P content. The thick aluminide coating has a precipitate free inner layer of Ni-rich β-NiAl. An outer layer of Al-rich β-NiAl with many α-Cr precipitates has formed as well. The present metallurgical characterization shows a significant influence of slurry thickness on the morphology and composition of the coatings formed during heat treatment.

    Steam Oxidation Testing of Coatings for Next Generation Steam Power Plant Components
    (Scientific.Net, 2006-08-14) Agüero, Alina; Gutiérrez del Olmo, Marcos; Muelas Gamo, Raúl
    To achieve higher power generation efficiency in steam turbines, operating temperatures are expected to rise from 550°C to 650°C. The use of oxidation resistant coatings on currently available materials, with high creep strength but inferior steam oxidation resistance, is being explored in order to accomplish this goal in the context of the European project “Coatings for Supercritical Steam Cycles” (SUPERCOAT). Coating techniques have been chosen on the basis of being potentially appropriate for coating steam turbine components: the application of metallic and ceramic slurries, pack cementation and the deposition of alloyed and cermet materials by thermal spray. The coatings were characterised by metallography, SEM-EDS and XRD and steam oxidation and thermal cycling laboratory testing was carried out at 650º C. In this presentation, the testing results of selected coatings will be shown including those which exhibit the most promising behaviour. For instance, slurry aluminides have been exposed to steam at 650°C for more than 38,000 h (test ongoing) without evidence of substrate attack. Some HVOF coatings such as FeAl, NiCr and FeCr also have shown excellent behaviour. The results have provided information regarding the mechanism of protection and degradation of these coatings as well as insight into new coating development.

    Long term diffusion studies in Fe aluminide coatings deposited by slurry application on ferritic steel
    (Scientific.Net, 2009-04-22) Agüero, Alina; González, Vanessa; Gutiérrez del Olmo, Marcos
    Diffusion iron aluminide coatings have shown excellent resistance to high temperature oxidation in air, corrosive atmospheres and steam. A study of the diffusion behaviour of slurry applied diffusion aluminide coatings deposited on ferritic steel have been carried out under a 100% flowing steam atmosphere for up to 50,000 h at 650 °C. The results have shown that initially, the coating forms by outward growth possibly including the dissolution of the steel in molten aluminium. At later stages, during exposure to steam at 650 °C, aluminium diffuses inward and moreover, Fe also diffuses outward resulting in the progressive development of Kirkendall porosity. Results have also indicated that in order to form a pure protective Al2O3 scale the Al wt.% has to be > 4. Below this content Al-Fe mixed oxides develop exhibiting a less protective behaviour.

    Microstructural Evolution of Slurry Fe Aluminide Coatings during High Temperature Steam Oxidation
    (Trans Tech Publications, 2008-09-15) Agüero, Alina; Spiradek, Krystina; Höfinger, S; Gutiérrez del Olmo, Marcos; Muelas Gamo, Raúl
    Slurry iron aluminide coatings are very resistant to steam oxidation at 600-650º C. These coatings can be used to protect new generation Ultra Super Critical (USC) steam power plant ferritic/martensitic steel components. The microstructure of the initially deposited coating changes as a function of time, mainly due to coating-substrate interdiffusion, going from mostly Fe2Al5 to FeAl, causing the precipitation of AlN in those substrates containing a minimum content of N and moreover, developing Kirkendall porosity at the coating-substrate interface. Steam oxidation at 650º C causes the formation of a protective thin layer of hexagonal χ-Al2O3 phase along with some α- and γ-Al2O3 after the first few hours of exposure. However, despite the relatively low temperature, and after several thousands hours the protective layer was mostly composed of α-Al2O3. A study of the evolution of the microstructure of slurry aluminide coatings deposited on P92 and exposed to steam at 650º C has been carried out by scanning and transmission electron microscopy and X ray diffraction.

    Modified high hardness steel coating for biomass corrosion protection
    (Springer Nature Link, 2025-09-13) Agüero, Alina; Gutiérrez del Olmo, Marcos; Audigié, Pauline; Rodríguez Catela, Sergio; Pascual Ferreiro, Jon
    Biomass is a renewable and CO2-neutral energy source. However, the efficiency of biomass combustion plants remains lower than that of current fossil fuel-based systems. To minimize corrosion from aggressive species found in biomass combustion, these plants currently operate at a maximum temperature of 550 °C. The European project BELENUS explored new materials and coatings to raise the operating temperature to 600 °C, thereby improving plant efficiency. Among the coatings under investigation, a super high-hardness steel (SHS) modified with Al, applied by high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) thermal spray on ferritic steel SVM12, has demonstrated an improved performance in the laboratory, exposed to a model biomass environment containing KCl deposits for 8000 h at 600 °C. Microstructural analysis by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction was conducted on the tested samples to examine the coating’s evolution in these environments, as well as the associated protection and degradation mechanisms. The presence of Al within the coating significantly enhanced its resistance to biomass corrosion when compared to uncoated SVM12 and the Al-free SHS coating. Possible reasons for the improved behaviour of the Al-modified coating are the reduction of porosity as well as the blocking effect of either intermetallic FeAl or Al oxide which forms at the splat boundaries prior to exposure to the corrosive atmosphere.

    Metal Dusting Protective Coatings. A Literature Review
    (Springer Nature Link, 2011-03-20) Agüero, Alina; Gutiérrez del Olmo, Marcos; Korcakova, L; Nguyen, T. T. M; Hinnemann, B; Saadi, S
    Metal dusting is a catastrophic form of carburization attack that takes place in carbon-supersaturated gaseous atmospheres, and is most commonly encountered in steam reforming processes such as the production of hydrogen or syngas for ammonia, Fischer–Tropsch and methanol applications. The consequence of metal dusting can be a severe loss of metal from the process units, leading to high-cost maintenance and serious safety issues. The present literature review discusses the latest developments within metal dusting protection of alloys with special emphasis on protective coatings. In the first part of the paper, an overview of the main theories for metal dusting of alloys as well as fundamental studies is provided. In the second part, the paper focuses on the different methods to prevent metal dusting, including surface poisoning, alloying, chemical, mechanical and laser treatments as well as coatings. Particular focus is given to coatings and their composition, and fabrication methods, and a critical analysis of the different materials’ behaviours and the suitability perspectives of deposition techniques are provided.
