The morphology of the NiCrAlY layer as a function of annealing time and temperature was characterized. The chemical composition and distribution of alloying elements were eval-uated using scanning microscopy and micro-area chemical composition analysis. It was revealed that NiCrAlY coatings deposited by LENS method are characterized by good metallurgical quality. The long-term annealing of the NiCrAlY coating led to microstructural changes in the form of the disappearance of the original dendritic structure and the formation of a solid solution of nickel with chromium and a small amount of aluminum, as well as chromium α-Cr precipitates and Ni-Y-type phases. The effect of increasing iron concentration in the coating due to diffusion-to-core processes was also found}, type={Article}, title={Long-term Annealing of NiCrAlY LENS Coating on 316L Steel}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/125447/PDF-MASTER/AFE%204_2022_17_final.pdf}, doi={10.24425/afe.2022.143959}, keywords={NiCrAlY, LENS, Additive manufacturing, Long-term annealing, Microstructural stability}, }
