In this study, the effects of Pd buffer layer on the oxidation resistance of Pt modified-pack aluminized Inconel 738LC, used for gas turbine, were investigated. Pd was electroplated on Inconel 738LC, and Pt was electroplated on the electroplated Pd surface. Thus, the thickness of electroplated Pt/Pd was $10\;{\mu}m$ and the atomic ratio of Pt : Pd was about 6 : 4. After Pt/Pd electroplating, Inconel 738LC was pack aluminized to form the oxidation resistant layer. To investigate the oxidation resistance of Pt/Pd modified-pack aluminized Inconel 738LC, iso-thermal oxidation and cyclic oxidation were performed. The iso-thermal oxdation and the cyclic oxidation data indicated that the Pt/Pd modified-pack aluminized Inconel 738LC was more oxidation resistant than the Pt modified-pack aluminized Inconel 738LC. It was thought that the difference of thermal expansion coefficient between Inconel 738LC and Pt was lowered by the Pd buffer layer.

High-strength nickel-based super alloys have been widely used in aircraft engines, vessel engines, and turbine blades because of their high strength and excellent fatigue and oxidation resistance. In this study, tests were carried out to determine the total strain range and temperature for high-strength nickel-based super alloys. Prepared specimens of IN738LC were exposed to temperatures of $871^{\circ}C$ and $982^{\circ}C$ for 1,000.10,000 h. These specimens were subjected to tests of mechanical properties and microstructure observations. The changes in mechanical properties were related to changes in ${\gamma}$ according to the thermal exposure time.

For many years, high-strength nickel-base superalloys have been used to manufacture turbine blades because of their excellent performance at high temperatures. The prediction of fatigue life of superalloys is important for improving the efficiency of the turbine blades. In this study, low cycle fatigue tests are performed for different values of total strain and temperature. The relations between strain energy density and number of cycles before failure occurs are examined in order to predict the low cycle fatigue life of IN738LC super alloy. The results of low cycle fatigue lives predicted by strain energy methods are found to coincide with experimental data and with the results obtained by the Coffin-Manson method.

Effects of thermal exposure and rejuvenation treatment on the microstructural evolution and the stress-rupture properties of IN738LC have been investigated. The role of precipitates on the stress-rupture properties has been analyzed through microstructural observations. Thermal exposure at $982^{\circ}C$ for 1000 hours gave rise to precipitation of $\sigma$ phase and coarsening of r'. The microstructural degradation with thermal exposure at $982^{\circ}C$ deteriorated stress rupture properties of the alloy. All the existing phases except MC carbides have completely dissolved into the matrix with homogenization treatment at $1200^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. Microstructure and stress-rupture properties of the thermal exposed specimens have been successfully rejuvenated by the proposed treatment.
