The fabrication of a single-phase (Ni,Pt)Al coating, doped with zirconium, was achieved via a method that included the simultaneous electroplating of a Pt-Zr layer, followed by a process of gas-phase aluminizing. The Zr-doped (Ni,Pt)Al coating was then subjected to an evaluation of its isothermal oxidation resistance at a temperature of 1150 °C in static air compared with a conventional (Ni,Pt)Al coating. The findings indicated that the incorporation of zirconium into the (Ni,Pt)Al coating led to a marked escalation in the rate of oxidation and a worse-scale spallation resistance, which was totally opposite to the results obtained at 1100 °C. The harmful effect of Zr on the oxidation resistance of the coating is discussed in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
