However, poor oxidation and corrosion resistance at temperatures above 800°C still become the drawbacks of this alloys, making the development of protective coatings to improve the resistance is important. This study investigates the hot corrosion behavior of two phases intermetallic alloy α2-Ti3Al/γ-TiAl with and without enamel coating using immersion test method in molten salt of 85%-wt Na2SO4 and 15%-wt NaCl at 850°C. The results show after 50 hours of hot corrosion test, bare alloy showed poor hot corrosion resistance due to the formation of non-protective Al2O3+TiO2 mixed scale at the surface of the alloy. Improvement of hot corrosion resistance was obtained in samples protected with enamel coating, indicated by significant decreasing in mass change (mg/cm2) by 98.20%. Enamel coating is expected to has the capability in suppressing the diffusion of oxygen and corrosive ions into the substrate layer, and consequently, it improves hot corrosion resistance of the alloy. The study showed that enamel coatings have strong adherent to the substrate and no spallation was observed after hot corrosion test. Nevertheless, the dissolution of oxides components of the enamel coating into the molten salts was observed that lead enamel coating degradation. This degradation is believed involving Cl- anion penetration into the substrate through voids in the coating that accelerates the corrosion of the two phases α2-Ti3Al/γ-TiAl alloy. Even though further observations are needed, it appears that enamel coating could be a promising protective coating to increase hot corrosion resistance of TiAl intermetallic alloys.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]enamel coating,hot corrosion,surface treatment,α2-Ti3Al/γ-TiAl intermetallic[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4974444[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
