    Abstract
    Nickel-base superalloys such as René 80 are widely used in manufacturing aircraft turbine blades. They are usually coated in order to increase their wear, oxidation, erosion, and hot corrosion properties against environmental degradation. In this article, the mechanical behavior (tensile and low-cycle fatigue (LCF)) of uncoated and aluminide-coated (CODEP-B) René 80 has been studied at 871 °C and 982 °C. Experimental results show that the tensile properties of coated specimens are relatively lower than those of uncoated ones in the same conditions, but application of coating increases the LCF life of René 80 at T = 871 °C, 982 °C, R = (εmin/εmax) = 0, strain rate of 2 × 10-3 s-1, and Δεt =...
