The isothermal oxidation behavior of bulk Ti3SiC2 at intermediate temperatures from 500 to 900 °C in flowing dry air was investigated. An anomalous oxidation with higher kinetics at lower temperatures was observed. This phenomenon resulted from the formation of microcracks in the oxide scales at low temperatures. The generation of these microcracks was caused by a phase change in the oxide products, i.e., the transformation of anatase TiO2 to rutile TiO2. This phase transformation resulted in tensile stress, which provided the driving force for the formation of the microcracks during oxidation. Despite the existence of microcracks, the intermediate-temperature oxidation of Ti3SiC2 generally obeyed the parabolic rate law and did not exhibit catastrophic destruction due to the fact that cracks occurring in the oxide layers were partially filled with amorphous SiO2. Therefore, further high oxidation kinetics was prevented.

In the present study the oxidation behavior of β-SiAlON ceramics, which were produced from conventional and high energy mechanical milled powders, was investigated. High energy mechanically milled powders have lower particle sizes ( 130 nm) than those of conventional powders (216 nm) and fully densified at lower temperatures with less amount of additives. The amount of additive is an important parameter to improve the high temperature oxidation resistance of SiAlON ceramics. The cyclic and isothermal oxidation tests were carried out at 1300 and 1400°C in dry air environment. The weight gain of oxidized samples was measured during the oxidation process. The alteration of oxide layer was analyzed by XRD and SEM. The results indicate that oxidation resistance of the samples produced from mechanically milled powders with less amount of additive is higher than that of conventional one. Therefore, β-SiAlON ceramics which were sintered at 100°C lower temperatures with less amount of additive (3.5 wt. % Y2O3), showed a better oxidation resistance.

Ru coating prior to aluminizing is one of the effective methods to reduce the harmful intermediate layer that forms under the coating (SRZ) on a 4th generation Ni-base SC superalloy. This study examined the short-term isothermal oxidation behavior of this Ru-modified coating at 1373 K in air. Surface observation by SEM showed that the scale becomes flat and uniform in comparison to simple aluminide coating. XRD and cross-sectional analysis results also showed that phase transformation from β-NiAl to γ’-Ni3Al seldom occurs in the Ru-modified coating layer leading to the prevention of local oxidation.

The oxidation behavior of Fe-20Ni alloy under compressive stress in air was studied at 800, 900 °C. The results examined by using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicates that the oxide scales were consisted of an external scale and a subscale which has an intragranular scale (above 5 h at 800 °C and 900 °C) and an intergranular scale. Compared with the unstressed specimen, the growth kinetics of external scale was accelerated by an applied compressive stress. Besides, the compressive stress induced an increase in the growths of intragranular scale and intergranular scale formed on the specimens oxidized at 900 °C. However, the effect of compressive stress on the growth of intergranular scale and intragranular scale was not obvious in the case of 800°C. In addition, cracks developed in the subscale for the specimens oxidized under 2.5 MPa compressive stress when the oxidation time exceeded 20 h.

The oxidation behavior of the equiatomic TiNi alloy was investigated at 600-900oC. The oxidation resistance of the TiNi alloy was better than the pure Ti alloy, but worse than the pure Ni alloy. The oxide scales consisted of TiO2, with and without embedded particles of TiNiO3 and Ni. The subscale matrix phase was (TiNi3+TiNi) at 600oC, TiNi3 at 700oC, (Ni+TiNi3) at 800oC, and Ni at 900oC. Oxidation was mainly governed by the inward diffusion of oxygen, and the outward diffusion of Ti and a bit of Ni. Detailed microstructures and the oxidation mechanism are proposed.

The Ti-6Al-4V alloy was oxidized isothermally and cyclically in air, and its oxidation behavior was compared with that of Ti metal. The isothermal oxidation at 800°C indicated that Ti-6Al-4V and Ti oxidized fast almost linearly, and the oxide scales that formed on Ti-6Al-4V and Ti were non-adherent. The cyclic oxidation indicated that Ti-6Al-4V oxidized faster than Ti at 600°C, and serious scale spallation occurred in Ti-6Al-4V compared to Ti at 800°C. The oxide scales that formed on Ti-6Al-4V and Ti after cyclic oxidation at 800°C delaminated into several pieces owing to excessive stress aroused by the repetitive thermal shock.

Isothermal oxidation behavior of the AISI430 stainless steel was investigated at 900°C and 950°C in air. Isothermal themogravimettric analyses were performed at high-temperature for 360ks (kilo-seconds). The microstructures of the oxide films on the stainless steel were characterized by SEM and chemical analyses were performed by EDS and X-ray diffraction. The oxide film included outer layer and inner one. The outer layer was magnetite and hematite oxides with no significant amounts of chromium and the inner one was formed by iron and chromium spinel. Significantly accelerated and anomalous oxidation was observed with the stainless steel AISI430 in air at 900°C.

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.

Bond coats play a crucial role in the performance of thermal barrier coating systems. Ru alloys have been identified as promising candidates; therefore, systematic studies were performed on the oxidation behavior of bulk RuAl (50–50 at.%). Isothermal oxidation and thermogravimetric analyses were performed at 1100 °C for different times ranging from 0.1 h to 500 h. Microstructural characterization was performed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed the formation of an α–Al2O3 layer on top of a δ–Ru layer. Interface instability between these layers and evaporation of gaseous Ru-oxides lead to the formation of large elongated cavities and alternating α–Al2O3/δ–Ru layers.

Pure powders of titanium, aluminium, nickel and ruthenium were mechanically alloyed and melted in a button arc furnace under an argon atmosphere to produce two alloys of composition Ti-52.5Al-10.0Ni (at.%) and Ti-52.5Al-10.0Ni-0.2Ru (at.%). The alloys were then cut and metallographically prepared. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize the samples. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to analyze the oxidation behavior from room temperature up to 1050°C. The alloys were also oxidized in air at 1050°C for 120 hours. The Ti-52.5Al-10.0Ni (at.%) alloy formed dendrites of γ-TiAl (55.6 at.% Al) surrounded by a eutectic of γ-TiAl + Al3NiTi2 (τ3) phases. The Ti-52.5Al-10.0Ni-0.2Ru (at.%) alloy formed dendrites of γ-TiAl (53.6 at.% Al) surrounded by a eutectic of γ-TiAl + Al3NiTi2 (τ3). The ruthenium was mostly in solid solution (0.3 at.%) in the Al3NiTi2 (τ3) phase, although traces of it were present in the dendrites (0.1 at.% Ru). When oxidized in air from room temperature to 1050°C, the as-cast Ti-52.5Al-10.0Ni-0.2Ru (at.%) had a mass gain of 0.60% and the as-cast Ti-52.5Al-10.0Ni (at.%) had a mass gain of 0.97%. Isothermal oxidation of both alloys at 1050°C for 120 hours formed mixed metal oxides of TiO2+Al2O3 on the surface.

ABSTRACTOxidation behavior of alumina forming ferritic stainless steel (FeCrAl type stainless steels) grades APM and APMT, which are candidate alloys for fuel cladding, was studied using thermogravimetric analysis under dry air condition, and compared to that of ZIRLO®. In addition to the dry air condition, we also studied the high temperature oxidation behavior of APM and APMT under 100% steam condition in order to compare the effect of environment on the oxidation behavior of these alloys. APM and APMT showed an excellent oxidation resistance at high temperatures compared to ZIRLO® under dry air condition due to a stable Al2O3 oxide scale formed at the surface. Under steam condition, the oxidation rate of APM and APMT was found to be higher compared to that under the dry air condition.
