ABSTRACTThe high-temperature oxidation behavior of several ordered alloys in the Ni-Al and Fe-Al systems is reviewed with special emphasis on Ni3Al and NiAl. Ordering influences oxidation through its effect on the activities of the alloy components and by changing the point defect concentration in an alloy. Three categories of Ni-Al alloys are distinguished based on Al content and oxidation behavior. A characteristic feature of the oxidation of high-aluminum Ni-Al and Fe-Al alloys is the formation of voids in the substrate at the oxide-metal interface. The mechanism of void formation and its suppression by minor additions of oxygen-active elements is discussed. A brief description of the effect of preoxidation on the reactions of Ni3Al-base alloys in SO2/O2 environments is also included.

The effects of the third element on the high temperature oxidation of γ'-Ni3Al with 5at%X (X=Ti, Ta, Nb, Cu, Co and Fe) alloys were investigated at 1173K in air, and oxidation behavior could be classified into three groups. The first group, comprised of alloys with Cu and Co, showed good oxidation performance with Al2O3 formation. A second group contains Ti, Ta, and Nb as alloying elements, and showed poor oxidation performance. With Fe or Mn addition the alloy oxidation performance was intermediate between the first and second group. The effects of these elements are discussed associate with partitioning factors for each element in the γ'-phase.
