Effect of Re element on oxidation resistance of Ni_3Al-Mo based alloys at 1150 ℃

The isothermal oxidation behaviors of three kinds of Ni3Al-Mo based alloys at 1150 ℃ were studied.The morphology,structure and element distribution of oxide scales of the alloys were researched by scanning electron microscopy,X-ray diffraction and electron probe microanalysis.The research results show that there are three oxide layers,an outer layer of NiO,an intermediate layer mainly composed of NiO,NiAl2O4 and a small amount of NiMoO4,and an inner layer of NiAl2O4 and Al2O3.Re element was mainly distributed in the intermediate layer,which plays a role as ＂diffusion barrier＂ in the process of oxidation,and effectively reduces the diffusion rate of Al and Mo elements outward and diffusion rate of O element inward.As a result,a Al-rich oxide layer formed in the inner layer inhibits the growth of oxide layer and improves the oxidation resistance of the alloy.

Improvement on the Oxidation Resistance of a Ti_3Al Based Alloy by Cr1-xAl_xN (0≤x≤0.47) Coatings

Cr1-xAlxN coatings have been deposited on a Ti3Al based alloy by reactive sputtering method. The results of the isothermal oxidation test at 800-900℃ showed that Cr1-xAlxN coatings could remarkably reduce the oxidation rate of the alloy owing to the formation of Al2O3＋Cr2O3 mixture oxide scale on the surface of the coatings. No spallation of the coatings or oxide scales took place during the cyclic oxidation at 800℃. Ti was observed to diffuse into the coatings, the diffusion distance of which was very short, and the diffusion ability of it was proportional to the AI content in the coatings. Compared to Ti, Nb can diffuse much more easily through the whole coatings and oxide scales.

Tribological property and high temperature oxidation behavior of Ni-based alloy

Ni-Cr based alloys were prepared by hot-pressing the mixture of strengthening phases Mo, Al, Ti, and lubricant phase MoS2. The hardness, tribological properties as well as the high temperature oxidation properties were evaluated, The results show that the strengthening phases can improve the mechanical properties of Ni-Cr based alloy obviously, and the wear and friction properties of Ni-based alloy with strengthening phase can be improved. Its friction coefficient and wear rate rubbed with Al2O3 ceramic disk are about 0.4 and 10 -14m3/（N·m）, respectively, and the oxidation process is mainly affected by Cr2O3.

Oxidation and hot corrosion behaviors of Nb−Si based ultrahigh temperature alloys at 900℃

Oxidation and hot corrosion behaviors at 900 ℃ of Nb-Si based ultrahigh temperature alloys were investigated. Both oxidation and hot corrosion kinetics curves of the alloy involve an initial parabolic stage and a later rapid linear stage. In the initial oxidation stage(1-50 h), a thin and continuous scale is formed on the alloy surface, while severe pest degradation phenomenon is observed in the linear oxidation stage. Compared with oxidation of the alloy in static air, a linear hot corrosion stage happens earlier and catastrophic scale disintegration occurs after hot corrosion for 20-100 h, demonstrating that molten salts(Na2SO4 and NaCl) could significantly accelerate the oxidation process of the alloy. STEM results indicate that the corroded scale consists mainly of TiO2, Nb2O5, TiNb2O7, amorphous silicate and NaNbO3.

Effect of Cr on microstructure and oxidation behavior of TiAl-based alloy with high Nb

Three novel multi-microalloying TiAl-based alloys containing high Nb were designed and fabricated Thermogravimetric method was applied to investigate the influence of Cr on the oxidation behavior of high Nb TiAl alloy at 1,073 K for 200 h in laboratory air. The 2 at.% and 4 at.% Cr were added into the alloy,(respectivel named 2 Cr and 4 Cr compared to the Cr-free ternary alloy, 0 Cr alloy). The alloys' microstructure and compositio as well as the composition distribution of the oxidation scale were analyzed by means of Scanning Electro Microscopy(SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy(EDS), and X-Ray Diffractometry(XRD). The results show that the addition of Cr decreases the grain size of the Nb-TiAl alloy and leads to a transformation from a full lamellar structure to a nearly fully lamellar structure. When oxidized at 1,073 K for 200 h, the oxidized mass gai of the alloy increases with an increase in Cr addition amount in the first 100 h and decreases in the last 100 h With the increase of Cr content, the oxidation surface turns compact but uneven in morphology, which may affec the oxidation resistance of the alloy by increasing the peeling off risk of the oxidation layer at friction conditions.

Isothermal oxidation behavior of Ti_3Al-based alloy at 700-1000 ℃ in air

The isothermal oxidation behavior of a Ti3Al-based alloy (Ti-24Al-14Nb-3V-0.5Mo-0.3Si, molar fraction, %) at 700-1 000 ℃ in air was investigated. The oxidation kinetics of tested alloy approximately obeys the parabolic law, which shows that the oxidation process is dominated by the diffusion of ions. The oxidation diffusion activity energy is 241.32 kJ/mol. The tested alloy exhibits good oxidation resistance at 700 ℃. However, when the temperature is higher than 900 ℃, the oxidation resistance becomes poor. The XRD results reveal that the oxide product consists of a mixture of TiO2 and Al2O3. Serious crack and spallation of oxide scale occur during cooling procedure after being exposed at 1 000 ℃ in air for 16 h. According to the analysis of SEM/EDS and XRD, it is concluded that the Al2O3 oxide forms at the initially transient oxidation stage and most of it keeps in the outer oxide layer during the subsequent oxidation procedure.

FORMATION OF SILICONIZED LAYER ON TiAl-BASED ALLOY AND THE OXIDATION RESISTANCE

The Ti-48Al alloy was pack siliconized with 15%Si+85%Al2O3. The microstructure of the siliconized coating on the TiAl-based alloy was analyzed and its effect on oxidation resistance was investigated. The specimens before and after cycle oxidation were examined by XRD and SEM equipped with XEDS. The results showed that the coating is composed of a thin Al2O3 outer layer and a composite inner layer of Ti5Si3 with an appropriate amount of Al2O3 dispersed in. Cycle oxidation tests showed that the high temperature oxidation resistance of TiAl-based alloy was greatly improved by forming such composite coating. No spaliation and crack happened and the weight gain was very small after cycle oxidation at 900℃ for 314h.

Influence of solution treatment on microstructure, corrosion resistance, and oxidation behavior of cast G-NiCr28W alloy

G-NiCr28W is a nickel-based cast alloy. Its microstructure consists of nickel-rich matrix phase and chromium-rich eutectic carbides. The solution treatment process can provide homogenous microstructure and desired mechanical/thermal properties for G-NiCr28W alloy. However, the solution treatment process affects the corrosion resistance of the alloy and it causes metal loss due to the occurrence of oxidation at atmospheric conditions. Therefore, determining the changes in the properties of the G-NiCr28W is important. For this purpose, G-NiCr28W specimens were solution treated at 1,040 ℃, 1,100 ℃ and 1,160 ℃ for 1 h and 8 h, respectively. The microstructures of the solution-treated samples were characterized by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. Moreover, hardness, corrosion resistance and oxidation behaviors of the solution-treated samples were examined. The solution treatment process applied at 1,160 ℃ led to the formation of Fe_2W_2C blocky carbides, and hardness of the sample increased with the existence of blocky carbides, while corrosion resistance decreased. Furthermore, excessive metal loss occurred depending on oxidation due to the high process temperature at 1,160 ℃.

The oxidation behaviors of Nb67-xW15Si18Hfx (x=0, 5, 10) alloys were studied at 1 250℃in air. It is found that the Nb67W15Si18 alloy has the best oxidation resistance among the three alloys; and Hf addition is harmful to the oxidation resistance of the Nb67W15Si18 alloy. The oxides formed on the Nb67W15Si18 alloy are mainly Nb12WO33 and NbO2, and that on the Nb62W15Si18Hf5 and Nb57W15Si18Hf10 alloys is Nb2O5. Effect of Hf on the oxidation behavior of the Nb67-xW15Si18Hfx alloys has been discussed based on microstructures and kinetics of oxidation.

Development and Oxidation Behavior of Al-Cu-Fe Quasicrystalline Coating on Ti Alloy

An oxidation resistant Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystalline coating was fabricated on substrate of Ti alloy by low pressure plasma spraying (LPPS) method. As-sprayed Al-Cu-Fe coating has a rapidly solidified lamellar microstructure consisting of quasicrystalline phase and crystalline phase. The formation of quasicrystalline coating is related to the annealing. The results from the ox!dat!on experiments showed that Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystalline coating improved the oxidation resistance of Ti-base alloys. During the oxidation period there is no evident spallation of the coating from the substrate. Oxide formed on the surface of Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystalline coating after oxidation consisted of Al2O3. Oxidation occurs Ieading to a change of concentration and phase transformation in the coating surface. Selective oxidation of AI transforms the quasicrystalline phase into the phase.

Oxidization resistance of Ni76Cr19AlTi valve alloy at temperatures under operating mode of heavy-duty engines

The oxidization resistance of the Ni76Cr19A1Ti alloy was studied by a static oxidization experiment at 600-800℃. The results show that the oxidation behavior of the alloy can be explained by a kinetic equation： （△m/S）2 = Kpt ＋ C, where Kp is a kinetic constant of the nickel-base alloy. The higher the experimental temperature, the higher the value of Kp. It is discovered that the microstructure of the oxide scales is compact and the thickness of it is less than 10 μm The oxidization of the alloy is in the first grade. It is also found that the oxide scales are mainly composed of Cr2O3 and TiO2. Chrome and titanium react more easily with oxygen at temperatures under the operating mode.

Oxidation behavior of a novel multi-element alloyed Ti2AlNbbased alloy in temperature range of 650-850℃

The oxidation behavior of a novel multi-element alloyed Ti2A1Nb-based alloy （Ti-22Al-25Nb-1Mo-1V-1Zr-0.2Si） was studied in the temperature range of 650-850℃. X-ray diffraction （XRD） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM） equipped with an energy-dispersive spectroscopy （EDS） were used to identify the phase constituents and microstructure of the scales formed on the specimens after oxidation at different temperatures. Isothermal oxidation tests show that the oxidation rate of the alloyed TiEAlNb-based alloy is obviously reduced at all temperatures, and the mass gains are very low for this alloy in comparison with those of Ti-22Al-25Nb alloy. The alloying elements Mo, V, Zr and Si have an obvious affect on the oxidation products of the alloys. The improved oxidation resistance for the alloy is ascribed to the introduction of Mo, V, Zr and Si elements, which are beneficial to the selective oxidation of Al to form protective oxides while are disadvantage of the formation of poor oxidation resistance oxides such as AlNbO4.

Effects of Nb and Si on high temperature oxidation of TiAl

The isothermal oxidation behavior of TiAl based alloys at 900 ℃ in air with a combination of Nb (5%-10%, mole fraction) and Si (1%-5%, mole fraction) was investigated. The microstructure and the composition of the oxidation scale were studied by using XRD, TEM and EPMA. The results show that the combination of Nb and Si can improve the oxidation resistance of the alloys significantly. The element Si can change the typical microstructure of oxidation scale on TiAl based alloys. In alloys with Si addition, the compact Al2O3 forms in the interior side of oxidation scale. When x(Si)>3%, the Ti5Si3 phase forms and the coarse crystal TiO2 forms on Ti5Si3 phase after oxidation. The increase of Nb content in the TiAl based alloys impedes the growth of Ti5Si3 phase, and the formation of TiO2 on surface and on Ti5Si3 phase is also impeded.

Study on Degradation of La_(0.8)Pr_(0.2)Ni_(3.55)Co_(0.75)Mn_(0.4)Al_(0.3) Alloy Electrode in Process of Charge-discharge Cycles

The degradation of La 0.8 Pr 0.2 Ni 3.55 Co 0.75 Mn 0.4 Al 0.3 alloy electrode during charge discharge cycles was studied with analytical electron microscope (AEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). During the cycles, the alloy particles of the negative electrode were pulverized gradually. After 200 cycles, the pulverizing process basically ended and the larger particles were pulverized to below 10 μm. The particles were oxided at the rate of about 0.1 μm/100 times cycles. The oxide layer was porous and consisted of the La(OH) 3 and oxides of Pr, Co and Ni. Most of Pr, Mn and almost all of Al in the oxide layer were dissolved into the electrolyte. The oxidation of the alloy particles was one of the main factors of the decay of the discharge capacity of the negative electrode during the cycles.
