Ni3Al samples were implanted with different doses of 150 keV Cr+ ions to modify the surface region. The high temperature oxidation behavior was tested. The surface layer structure was investigated by AES, TEM, XRD, and optical microscope before and after the test. The experimental results show that chromium ions turn a small amount of ordered superlattice Ni3Al phase into a disordered Ni–Al–Cr phase. Also there is a bcc chromium phase in the implanted sample. Implanted Ni3Al alloy has better oxidation resistance than the unimplanted one at 900 °C. The oxide layer is of a multilayer structure after 50 h oxidation, composed of a NiO inner layer, Cr2O3, spinel NiAl2O4 intermediate layers, and an α–Al2O3 external layer at the oxide/air interface. The α-Al2O3 and Cr2O3 are independent scale-like layers. The two protective layers improve the oxidation resistance significantly. The effects of implanted elements and possible reaction mechanisms are discussed.

Three types of Ti-Al-Nb ternary alloys are obtained by arc-melting and heat treatment, which are γ-TiAl single phase alloy, γ-TiAl + α2-Ti3Al duplex phase alloy, and γ-TiAl +α2-Ti3Al +Nb2Al multiple phase alloy. The phase stability is studied using optical microscope, X-ray diffractometer and electron probe microanalyzer. The oxidation behavior of three Ti-Al-Nb ternary alloys with different microstructures was investigated at 1273K using interrupted oxidation test in air. The compression test was carried out at 298K-1373K. The oxidation resistance of Ti-Al-Nb ternary alloy at high temperature was found to be better than that of the binary Ti-Al alloy. Among the three Ti-Al-Nb ternary alloys, the two-phase alloy with γ+α2 has the best oxidation resistance and mechanical properties. The existence of α2 could enhance the oxidation resistance of the alloy at high temperature. On the contrary, the presence of Nb-enriched phase such as Nb2Al would decrease the oxidation resistance at elevated temperature due to the formation of Nb2O5, which would accelerate the exfoliation of oxide.

Abstract High-temperature oxidation resistance, hot formability, element distribution, and microstructure of Al-10% Si-(0.5–3.0%)Cu coating were investigated by means of glow discharge spectroscopy, optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. Results show that the addition of Cu can increase high-temperature oxidation resistance above 950°C and improve hot formability so that no crack spreads into substrate steel as hot forming at 33.3% strain. Oxidation film structure is continual and compacting, and Si highly concentrates in the surface layer. The distribution of Cu has skin effect with peaking content 8.2% in the surface layer. After hot stamping, Al and Si diffuse into substrate steel, and Cu diffuses from inner to outer coating. Al–Si–Cu coating has smoother surface, straighter diffusion layer, and finer metal compound than Al–Si coating. Surface and diffusion layers are identified as aluminum oxide, Si-rich, and Cu phase and Al7SiFe2, Al3Fe, and CuAl3, respectively. Al-rich phase and the metal compound are composed of α-Al dissolving Fe, Si, and Cu and Al–Si matrix, Cu3Al, respectively.

The oxidation behavior of SUS310S austenitic stainless steels was studied in isothermal conditions at different temperatures between 800oC and 1100oC for 96h in air. The oxidation kinetics was analyzed, the surface and cross-section of the oxide scale grown by oxidation were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffusion (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The SUS310S steel has high oxidation resistance at 800oC and with the increase of the temperature, the parabolic rate constants is constantly increasing. Examination of the morphology and composition of oxide layers reveals a double-layer structure, The inner layer is mainly chromium oxide (Cr2O3) and is covered by an uneven thinness outer layer of manganese-chromium or iron-chromium spinel oxide.

In this paper, CrAlSiN coatings are deposited by a lateral rotating cathode arc technique. The high temperature oxidation behaviors of these coatings are studied in ambient atmosphere at temperatures ranging from 800°C-1000°C for an hour. The ternary TiAlN coating is used as the benchmark in this study. The surface morphology and chemical composition of the coating samples before and after oxidation at different temperatures are analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped by energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX), glow discharge optical spectrometry (GDOS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The CrAlSiN coatings show much better oxidation resistance than the TiAlN coatings. TiAlN starts to oxidize from 800oC and forms a complete surface oxide layer after oxidation at 1000oC for an hour. However, CrAlSiN shows a relatively good oxidation resistance below 1000oC and only is oxidized to form a thin oxide scale with a thickness of 0.3 µm at 1000oC for one hour. It is found that the oxidation of both coatings is triggered from the surface metallic droplets generated by the arc deposition process.

Multi-component metal ceramic coating(Ti, Al)C was prepared on the 0.45% carbon steel by electrical discharge coating (EDC) in a hydrocarbon medium. The coating of the samples before and after oxidation was analyzed by different methods including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron spectroscopy (SEM) and energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS).The thermogravimetric technique was used to approximate the kinetics of oxidation of the coated and the uncoated samples.The results indicated that the thickness of the coating was about 20μm, and the composition of the ceramic coating mainly consisted of (Ti, Al) C and a little Ti3AlC. An oxide film with compact structure formed after 600°C oxidation for 200h, and it was mainly composed of Al2O3and TiO2, which inhibited further oxygen diffusion into the coating. The (Ti, Al) C ceramic coating possessed slow oxidation rate and high temperature oxidation resistance.

<p>Effect of b-quenching of Zr-2.5Nb-0.5Mo-0.1Ge alloy used for advanced fuel cladding material of Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) was investigated. The aim of this research isto improve the mechanical and corrosion properties through modificationof the alloy with regard to high reactor burn up. The quenching process was conducted by heating the sample at temperature of 950 <sup>o</sup>Cand soaking 2.5 hours,followed by quenching in water at room temperature and then continued with annealing process at 500 and 600<sup>o</sup>C. The change of hardness and oxidation resistance were characterized using optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The effect on the oxidation resistance was investigated by the high temperature oxidation test using the MSB (Magnetic Suspension Balance) at 700 <sup>o</sup>C for 5 hours. The hardness increased from 217 VHN to 265 VHN after quenching due to grain refinement and precipitation hardening. The oxidation rate followed the typical parabolic growth characteristic. The formation of thin layer was considered to be a stable oxide ZrO<sub>2</sub>that influenced the oxidation characteristic and increasing the hardness of the alloy.</p>

AbstractThe oxidation behavior of Fe-Si-Ce alloys with different Ce content at 1,173 and 1,273 K has been studied by means of optical microscope (OM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results show that the Ce addition refines the grain size of Fe-Si alloys, and correspondingly the grain size of the oxides decreases, which increases the grain boundary concentration and promotes the short-path diffusion of the alloying elements and oxygen. During oxidation, the positive effect of the grain refinement on the oxidation behavior of the alloy is more obvious than negative effect, so the Ce addition improves the oxidation resistances of the Fe-3Si alloys. Compared to Fe-3Si-0.5Ce alloy, Fe-3Si-5.0Ce alloy has the larger mass gain for the preferential oxidation of the excessive content of Ce exceeding its beneficial effects. The rare earth Ce changes the oxidation mechanism of Fe-Si alloys. Oxygen penetrates the oxide scales and reacts preferentially with Ce-rich phases, which results in the pinning effect and improves the adhesion of the oxide scales.

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.
