AbstractThe oxidation behavior of i-A163Cu25Fe12 at 800°C in air was investigated by means of TGA, XRD, SEM and TEM. In the beginning a homogeneous oxide layer is formed by the subsequent growth of metastable γ-Al2O3 and Θ-Al2O3. Nucleation of the thermodynamical stable α-Al2O3 occurs at the interface oxide/quasicrystal. The following growth of α-Al2O3 through the oxide layer leads to the formation of oxide nodules. The high growth rate of the α-Al2O3 can be explained by the incorporation of copper ions. The oxidation resistance of the quasicrystal is insufficient at high temperatures, because no protective oxide layer is formed. The high temperature oxidation behavior of Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystal and the aluminides β-FeAl and β-NiAl is compared regarding the oxidation rate, the oxide phases and the concentration changes in the material due to selective oxidation of aluminum.

NiCoCrAlYSiB coatings were deposited on the Co-based superalloy K40 by arc ion plating (AIP). The oxidation behavior of the bare alloy and of the coated specimens was tested in static air for 200 h at 1000 °C and 100 h at 1050 °C. The results showed that the oxidation rate of the system was greatly reduced by the addition of the NiCoCrAlYSiB coatings. Thin and adherent α–Al2O3 scales that formed on the coated specimens protected the substrates from further oxidation attack while non-protective oxide scales, mainly of Cr2O3 and CoCr2O4, appeared on bare K40 alloy. Element profiles on metallographic cross sections indicated that apparent interdiffusion occurred between the coatings and the substrates. The interdiffusion behavior and the resulting microstructure were investigated. As compared to aluminide coatings, NiCoCrAlYSiB coatings have less influence on the substrate microstructure.

2 at.% and 4 at.% Mo were added to Co-9Al-9W-2Ta-0.02B alloy to replace W (hereafter referred to as the alloys of 2Mo and 4Mo, respectively; Mo-free alloy was referred to as the 0Mo alloy). The effects of Mo additions on the high temperature oxidation behavior of the alloys at 800 °C in air have been studied. The results indicated that, after oxidation in air at 800 °C for 100 h, the oxide film of the 0Mo alloy remained intact, but the cracking and spallation of the oxide film took place in the alloys of 2Mo and 4Mo. Oxidation kinetic curves revealed weight gain per unit area of the 0Mo alloy was 36.86 mg·cm-2, which was lower than that of the alloys of 2Mo (65.16 mg·cm-2) and 4Mo (48.54mg·cm-2). These suggested that the 0Mo alloy displayed superior oxidation resistance compared to the alloys of 2Mo and 4Mo caused by the formation of volatile MoO3 oxide, and sharp compressive stress formed in the outer layer during the oxidation. The oxide layer was composed of three layers of the Co3O4 + CoO outer layer, middle complex oxide layer containing Co, Al and W (Mo), inner Al2O3 layer and γ/Co3W zone adhere to the γ/γ' substrate.

The oxidation behavior of an equimolar Cr-Mn-Fe-Co high-entropy alloy (HEA) processed by 3D laser printing was investigated at 700 °C and 900 °C. The oxidation kinetics of the alloy followed the parabolic rate law, and the oxidation rate constant increased with the rising of the temperature. Inward diffusion of oxygen and outward diffusion of cations took place during the high-temperature oxidation process. A spinel-type oxide was formed on the surface, and the thickness of the oxide layer increased with the rising of experimental temperature or time. The exfoliation of the oxide layer took place when the test was operated at 900 °C over 12 h. During oxidation tests, the matrix was propped open by oxides and was segmented into small pieces. The formation of loose structures had great effects on the high-temperature oxidation resistance of the HEA.

High temperature oxidation behavior of Si-Mo ferritic ductile cast iron was investigated in the point of the effect of chromium and vanadium addition. The addition of Cr promoted the formation of as-cast pearlite around carbide which exists in cell boundary, which was eliminated during annealing process. The addition of vanadium promoted the precipitation of tiny carbide and reduced the grain size of ferrite. As the test temperature increased, the change of volume increased, on the other hand, the change of weight decreased above 1173K. In the case of Cr added specimen, the change of weight decreased with the increase of test temperature because of the presence of Cr oxide layer. The vanadium added specimens showed higher increase in the weight and volume change. The oxide layer of vanadium added specimen had very porous structure and showed severe internal oxidation. It is due to the catastrophic oxidation characteristic of vanadium alloyed ferrous alloy.

AbstractThe oxidation kinetics of forged 12Cr-MoVW steel was investigated in an air (N2+O2) atmosphere at 873-1073 K (Δ50 K) using thermogravimetric analysis. The oxidized samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction, and the surface and cross-sectional morphologies were examined using scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The forged 12Cr-MoVW steel samples exhibited parabolic behavior and a low oxidation rate compared with their as-cast counterparts. A protective oxide layer was uniformly formed at relatively low temperature (≤973 K) for the forged samples, which thus exhibited better oxidation resistance than the as-cast ones. These oxides are considered solid-solution compounds such as (Fe, Cr)2O3.
