A novel silicon-containing austenitic stainless steel with excellent high-temperature initial oxidation resistance was prepared by adding 2.5 wt.% Si and modifying composition of the HR3C steels. Compared with HR3C steel, the oxidation resistance property of the steels containing silicon was markedly better at 800 °C. The high temperature oxidation mechanism of the steels containing silicon was analyzed by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive spectrum (EDS) system, X-ray diffraction (XRD), glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GDOES), and first-principles calculations. The results show that the Si atom in the 22Cr-25Ni-2.5Si steel initially diffused from the matrix to the surface and then reacted with O2 to form SiO2. The SiO2 had an inhibiting effect on the diffusion of Cr from matrix resulting in maintenance of the stability of the oxidation film and improvement of the oxidation resistance as compared with the HR3C.

The affecting laws of boron and silicon on structure and properties of Fe-based superalloy were studied by analyses of scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Proper content of boron could not only purify the matrix and restrain the polymerizing and growing of carbides effectively, but also promote the forming of secondary precipitate of borides, which dispersed in form of micro particles to strengthen grain boundaries and enhance the heat strength for Fe-based superalloy. Boron was an adverse element to high temperature oxidation resistance. Silicon could toughen the matrix by solid solution strengthening. Overfed silicon in alloys caused great dropping of strength and toughness. The component of SiO2 endowed the oxide scale with flat and compact structure, fine and even grains, and few exfoliating. The optimum contents of boron and silicon in Fe-based superalloy are 0.02wt.% and 1.5wt.% respectively by comprehensive consideration of high temperature mechanical properties and oxidation resistance.

Microstructural evolution of Ti2AlN ceramics during high-temperature oxidation in air has been revealed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEGSEM), and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). After oxidation below 1200 °C, layered microstructures formed on Ti2AlN surfaces containing anatase, rutile, and α-Al2O3. Above 1200 °C, more complex layered microstructures formed containing Al2TiO5, rutile, α-Al2O3, and continuous void layers. With increasing temperature, anatase gradually transformed to rutile, and TiO2 reacted with α-Al2O3 to form Al2TiO5. Based on these microstructural observations, an oxidation mechanism for Ti2AlN ceramics is proposed.

Nickel matrix and Si3N4 micron particles were co-deposited on the aluminum alloy by pulse electro-deposition for high temperature performance. Meanwhile, the oxidation resistance was evaluated through the high temperature oxidation test. The phase structure, micrographs and components of the composite coatings were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) together with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) respectively. The results indicated that Si3N4 particles were uniformly distributed across the coating and there were no pores and cracks or other defects at the coating/substrate interface. Ni-Si3N4 composite coatings are characterized by pyramidal micro-crystallite structure. The thickness of Ni-Si3N4 composite coatings were up to 80 μm for 2h. The results also revealed that the Ni-Si3N4 composite coatings presented better oxidation resistance than the pure Ni coating and aluminum alloy at high temperature. After oxidation at 673 K for 8h, the oxidation resistance of Ni-Si3N4 composite coatings presented the improved oxidation resistance behavior compared to pure Ni and the aluminum alloy, respectively.

Nb-16Si-24Ti-6Cr-6Al-2Hf-xB(x=0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6) in situ composites were prepared by arc-melting. Microstructure and the effect of boron on 1250C oxidation resistance of the composites were investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and X-ray energy disperse spectrum(EDS) as well as X-ray diffraction(XRD). The experimental results showed that the high temperature oxidation resistance of the alloy was remarkably improved by adding proper amount of boron. This may be resulted from several beneficial roles of boron, i.e., boron improves the resistance of Nb5Si3 by solid solution strengthening, inhibits the diffusion of oxygen in the matrix, improves the adherence between the oxide scale and the substrate and increases the cracking resistance of the oxide scale.

The paper describes a positive influence of silicon on the high-temperature oxidation resistance of titanium. Since silicon additions can be realized both by bulk and by surface alloying, the surface siliconizing techniques, as well as structure of the Si-rich layers, are illustrated. Furthermore, the high-temperature cyclic oxidation resistance of the surface siliconized titanium and of the TiSi2 alloy are compared to that of pure Ti and TiAl6V4 alloy, and the oxidation mechanism is discussed.

AbstractA disadvantage to the application of Ti3Al is its poor high temperature oxidation resistance. It is found that the element Nb or(and) Si can greatly reduce the oxidation rate of Ti3A1. A hot stage in situ X-ray diffractometer was used to determine the formation sequence of the oxide layers. At 800°C, TiO2 as well as Al2O3 was detected on the surface of binary Ti3Al at the beginning of the oxidation process. The addition of 5 at % Si to Ti3Al alloy did not favor the formation of an A12O3 layer. On the contrary, it inhibited the onset of Al2O3 to nearly 20 hours from the start of the oxidation process at the temperature of 800°C. The Nb addition also did not promote the formation of Al2O3. TiO2 formed first on the surface of Ti3Al-11 at % Nb alloy while TiN and TiAl formed consequently. Al2O3 was further delayed to 20 hours from the beginning of the oxidation process. When the Nb addition increased to 15 at %, however, TiN and TiAl were not found. It is suggested that the favorable effect of Nb and Si to the oxidation resistance of Ti3Al alloy is not due to their promotion of A12O3 layer, but probably due to some other mechanisms, such as the formation of TiN which serves as a diffusion barrier and decreases porosity in the TiO2 layer.

High temperature lubricating composites have been widely used in aerospace and other high-tech industries. In the actual application process, high temperature oxidation resistance is a very importance parameter. In this paper, BaO/TiO2-enhanced NiAl-based composites were prepared by vacuum hot-press sintering. The oxidation resistance performance of the composites at 800 °C was investigated. The composites exhibited very good sintered compactness and only a few pores were present. Meanwhile, the composite had excellent oxidation resistance properties due to the formation of a dense Al2O3 layer which could prevent further oxidation of the internal substrate; its oxidation mechanism was mainly decided by the outward diffusion of Al and the inward diffusion of O. The addition of BaO/TiO2 introduced more boundaries and made the Kp value increase from 1.2 × 10−14 g2/cm4 s to 3.3 × 10−14 g2/cm4 s, leading to a slight reduction in the oxidation resistance performance of the composites—although it was still excellent.

The research focuses on the high temperature oxidation resistance of martensitic heat-resistant steel. A new type of martensitic heat-resistant steel was developed with the addition of Al and Cu, and the oxidation behavior of the new martensitic heat-resistant steel at 650 °C and 700 °C was analyzed. The high temperature oxidation kinetics curves of new martensitic heat-resistant steel at 650 °C and 700 °C were determined and plotted by cyclic oxidation experiment and discontinuous weighing method. XRD technique was applied to qualitatively analyze the surface oxide of the material after oxidation. The surface and cross-section morphology of the material were observed by field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), and the oxidation mechanism at high temperature was analyzed. The results show that the oxide film can be divided into two layers after oxidation at 650 ºC for 200 h. The outer oxide film is mainly composed of Fe and Cu oxides, and the inner oxide film is mainly composed of Al2O3, SiO2 and Cr2O3. After oxidation at 700 ºC for 200 h, the outer layer is mainly composed of Fe, Cu, Mn oxides, and the inner layer is mainly composed of Cr, Al and Si oxides. The addition of a small amount of Cu promotes the diffusion of Al and Si elements, facilitates the formation of Al2O3 and SiO2, and improves the high-temperature oxidation resistance of martensitic heat-resistant steel.

Ti-Al based intermetallics are prospective high-temperature materials showing low weight combined with a relatively high strength, high creep resistance and good oxidation resistance at high temperatures. Beside Ti and Al, these materials commonly contain other additives modifying their properties. In the present work, structure and oxidation resistance of two Ti-Al-Nb and Ti-Al-Ta alloys are studied. The alloys are prepared by vacuum arc melting and oxidation is conducted in air at 800-1000°C. It is found that there are significant differences in the structure depending on the ternary additive. There are also differences in oxidation behavior and these differences are discussed in relation to oxidation mechanism.
