Nb-Si-based superalloys are considered as the most promising high-temperature structural material to replace the Ni-based superalloys. Unfortunately, the poor oxidation resistance is still a major obstacle to the application of Nb-Si-based alloys. Alloying is a promising method to overcome this problem. In this work, the effects of Hf, Cr, Zr, B, and V on the oxidation resistance of Nb-Si-based superalloys were discussed. Furthermore, the microstructure, phase composition, and oxidation characteristics of Nb-Si series alloys were analyzed. The oxidation reaction and failure mechanism of Nb-Si-based alloys were summarized. The significance of this work is to provide some references for further research on high-temperature niobium alloys.

TiAl based alloys are promising candidates for structural applications at high temperature. However, the poor oxidation resistance above 800oC obviously restrains their applications. Although NiCrAlY overlay coatings can remarkably improve the high temperature oxidation resistance of TiAl, serious inward diffusion of Ni from the coating to the substrate occurs which could reduce the lifetime of the coating/substrate system. Apparently, the development of interdiffusion barrier could overcome the disadvantage of the NiCrAlY/TiAl system. In this work, Ta, TiN and Cr2O3 interlayers were deposited between NiCrAlY coating and γ-TiAl substrate as diffusion barrier (DB). The interdiffusion behavior of the TiAl/DB/NiCrAlY system was investigated at 1000°C. The results showed that the metallic and nitride interlayers cannot retard the interdiffusion of Ni effectively. As an active diffusion barrier, the oxide interlayer obviously suppressed the inward diffusion of Ni from the coating to the substrate by the formation of alumina-rich layers at both the TiAl/DB and DB/NiCrAlY interfaces.

With the rapid development of the nuclear industry and the aerospace field, it is urgent to develop structural materials that can work in ultra-high temperature environments to replace nickel-based alloys. Mo-Si-B alloys are considered to have the most potential for new ultra-high temperature structural material and are favored by researchers. However, the medium-low temperature oxidizability of Mo-Si-B alloys limits their further application. Therefore, this study carried out extensive research and pointed out that alloying is an effective way to solve this problem. This work provided a comprehensive review for the microstructure and oxidation resistance of low silicon and high silicon Mo-Si-B alloys. Moreover, the influence of metallic elements on the microstructure, phase compositions, oxidation kinetics and behavior of Mo-Si-B alloys were also studied systematically. Finally, the modification mechanism of metallic elements was summarized in order to obtain Mo-Si-B alloys with superior oxidation performance.

Mo-Si-B alloys have been received an attention due to the high temperature strength and phase stability. However, the nature of poor oxidation resistance often limits the application of the alloy system. The unstable MoO3 phase is naturally produced when the alloys were exposed at low and /or high temperature in an air atmosphere. In order to resolve the poor oxidation resistance of the alloy system, several attempts have been made via surface coatings and/or component additions. In this study, the oxidation behaviors of the Ti powder thermal spray coated Mo-Si-B alloys have been investigated in order to identify the underlying mechanism for the effect of precursor Ti coatings on Mo-Si-B alloys. The oxidation tests performed at 1100 °C show that the Ti powder was tightly bonded and reacted with the surface of the substrate, and TiO2 layer was formed at the outer surface of the coated Ti layer as a result of oxidation exposure. The oxidation behaviors of pure elemental component coated Mo-Si-B alloys have been discussed in terms of microstructural observations during oxidation tests.

Traditional refractory materials such as nickel-based superalloys have been gradually unable to meet the performance requirements of advanced materials. The Mo-Si-based alloy, as a new type of high temperature structural material, has entered the vision of researchers due to its charming high temperature performance characteristics. However, its easy oxidation and even “pesting oxidation” at medium temperatures limit its further applications. In order to solve this problem, researchers have conducted large numbers of experiments and made breakthrough achievements. Based on these research results, the effects of rare earth elements like La, Hf, Ce and Y on the microstructure and oxidation behavior of Mo-Si-based alloys were systematically reviewed in the current work. Meanwhile, this paper also provided an analysis about the strengthening mechanism of rare earth elements on the oxidation behavior for Mo-Si-based alloys after discussing the oxidation process. It is shown that adding rare earth elements, on the one hand, can optimize the microstructure of the alloy, thus promoting the rapid formation of protective SiO2 scale. On the other hand, it can act as a diffusion barrier by producing stable rare earth oxides or additional protective films, which significantly enhances the oxidation resistance of the alloy. Furthermore, the research focus about the oxidation protection of Mo-Si-based alloys in the future was prospected to expand the application field.

The oxidation behavior of tantalum diboride (TaB2) powder at high temperature was investigated in order to determine the possibility of the use of advanced high temperature structural materials. Unfortunately, monolithic TaB2 were known to be chemical stability up to high temperatures. To date, there have been few reports regarding the properties of TaB2 ceramics. The samples were oxidized at room temperature to 1273 K for 5 minutes to 25 hours in air. The weight changes were measured to estimate the oxidation resistance. The oxidation of samples oxidized for short oxidation time of 5 minutes started at 873 K, and the weight gain increased with increasing oxidation temperature. On the other hand, at the oxidation time of above 1 hour, a maximum weight gain value at 973 to 1073 K was observed. However, even if the oxidation temperature was increased an additional weight change slightly occurred. The weight gain of the sample oxidized at 1273 K for 5 minutes to 25 hours was about 40 to 20 % of the theoretical oxidation mass change. According to the powder X-ray diffraction date, the oxidized TaB2 sample was changed to Ta2O5 at 873 K. Finally, the TaB2 showed a good oxidation resistance at high temperature, because the surface film of tantalum oxide (Ta2O5) formed by oxidation acted as an oxidation resistant layer.

The isothermal oxidation behavior of a new developed Ni base superalloy named DM02 for high temperature dies was studied in this paper. The dynamic curve was achieved by monitoring weight gain of the alloy as a function of time. The results showed that the alloy had fairly good oxidation resistance at 1050°C and 1100°C. The oxidation kinetics at both 1050°C and 1100°C followed parabolic rules in segment. It has been found that the oxidation of the alloy was controlled by multi-oxides of (Ni, Co)O, (Ni, Co)Al2O4, and NiWO4, growth mechanism in the primary stage, and by Al2O3, NiAl2O4 growth mechanism in the following stage. After oxidation at 1050°C for 100h, the oxide scale of the alloy was mainly composed of two areas. Some were thin uniform (Ni, Co)Al2O4(outer)/Al2O3 (inner) composites scale and others were multi-layer oxide scale of ( Ni,Co)O / multi-oxides (mainly NiWO4、NiO and NiAl2O4.) /Al2O3.

Mo-Si-B alloys have been received an attention due to the high temperature strength and phase stability. However, the nature of poor oxidation resistance often limits the application of the alloy system. In order to resolve the poor oxidation resistance of the alloy system, in this study, the oxidation behaviors of Si diffusion coated Mo-Si-B alloys have been investigated in order to identify the underlying mechanism for the effect of the constituent of the phase combination of Mo-Si-B alloys. The oxidation tests performed at 1100 °C show that the produced MoSi2 phase, as a result of the coatings, give an excellent oxidation resistance at prolonged high temperature exposure in air. The oxidation behaviors of uncoated and Si coated Mo-Si-B alloys have been discussed in terms of microstructural observations during oxidation tests.

AbstractMoSi2 based composites possess significant potential as high temperature structural materials. The present investigation constitutes an initial study of the fabrication and properties of MoSi2/silicide alloys and SiC particle reinforced-MoSi2 /silicide alloy matrix composites. Alloying disilicides (WSi2, Nb5Si2, Ta5Si2 ) and trisilicides (Mo5 Si3, W5Si3, Nb5Si3, Ta5Si3, Ti5Si3 ) were examined. Results indicated that at the 50/50 mole % alloying level, MoSi2 formed solid solutions with the alloying disilicides. Reaction of the MoSi2 /TaSi2 alloy with SiC was observed. An initial assessment of 50/50 mole % disilicide alloy oxidation behavior suggested an oxidation resistance inferior to that of pure MoSi2.

ABSTRACTB2 iridium aluminide (IrAl) is hopeful for use as an ultrahigh temperature oxidation resistant coating above 1600K. In this study, the effect of Co substitution for Ir on phase constitution, hardness and oxidation behavior was studied for IrAl alloys. Alloys of (Ir, Co)-50mol%Al with various Co contents were fabricated by Ar-arc melting followed by hot-forging at 1773K. Oxidation behavior was evaluated using thermogravimetry (TG) in Ar-67%O2 up to 1823K. XRD and SEM were also carried out for alloy characterization. It was found that a continuous B2 solid solution (Ir,Co)Al is formed between IrAl and CoAl. Depending on the Co concentration, the oxidation products identified after heating to 1873K in Ar-67%O2 were Ir, IrO2 and A2O3 and/or Co2AlO4. Thin and continuous Al2O3 layers were observed after isothermal oxidation at 1673K when Co content is more than 20mol%Co. In this case, the weight change by isothermal oxidation at 1673K becomes higher with decreasing Co content. The (Ir,Co)Al alloys containing 20–40mol%Co exhibit higher oxidation resistance than CoAl and IrAl, and thus oxidation resistance of CoAl is improved by Ir addition.

Niobium-Silicon alloys offer potential as a new generation of refractory material system that could meet the high-temperature capability envisaged to exceed the application temperatures of Ni base superalloys. A serious concern in the application of Nb based alloys is their poor oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. The ternary diagram Nb-Ti-Si system exhibits eutectic groves nearly parallel to the Nb-Ti binary and terminate in a Class II invariant reaction, L+(Nb,Ti)3Si → β+ (Ti,Nb)5Si3. A peretectic ridge from the reaction, L+(Nb,Ti)5Si3 →(Nb,Ti)3Si also exists and these reactions control the microstructures resulting from solidification of these Nb alloys. The microstructures associated with these alloys comprise a distribution of Nb5Si3 in β matrix. The effect of various alloying elements on the resulting microstructures are illustrated The effect of microstructural distribution on oxidation resistance of multiphase alloys are also discussed.
