Preparation and oxidation of an Al2O3-dispersed chromizing coating were investigated by chromizing an aselectrodeposited Ni-Al2O3 nanocomposite film using a conventional pack-cementation method at a greatly decreased temperature (800℃).For comparison,chromizing was also performed with the same condition on an as-deposited Ni film without Al2O3 nanoparticles.Oxidation at 900℃ indicates that,compared with the Al2O3-free chromizing coating,the Al2O3-dispersed chromizing coating exhibits a increased oxidation resistance,due to the formation of purer and denser chromia scale.The effect of Al2O3 on the coating formation and the coating oxidation behavior was discussed in details.
