Abstract
The composition and structure of aluminum bearing overlay alloy coatings, such as MCrAlY type overlay coatings, are altered during deposition from a metallic vapor by biasing the substrate at a small negative potential relative to ground while the vapor is at least partially ionized. The coating layer deposited under such conditions is characterized by substantial freedom from leader defects and by a reduced aluminum content and resultant improved ductility. Such coating conditions can be incorporated in a preselected manner into conventional deposition techniques, such as vacuum vapor deposition and sputtering, to produce a variety of coating compositional and structural variations from a single coating alloy ingot source.
