The high temperature oxidation performance of nitride thin films has become an important issue when they are used as protective coatings on dry cutting tools or on die casting molds. In this study, the high temperature oxidation behaviors of CrNx and Cr-Si-N thin films were investigated at 1000 °C for 6 h in ambient air. The CrNx and Cr-Si-N thin films were prepared by a bipolar asymmetric pulsed direct-current (DC) magnetron sputtering system. Cr-Si-N films with silicon content ranging from 3.9 to 12.2 at.% were deposited by adjusting the Si target power. A thermogravimeter was adopted to study the oxidation kinetics of thin films. The weight gains were measured to calculate the parabolic rate constants of thin films. X-ray diffraction, X-ray mapping, and Auger electron spectroscopy were employed to study the microstructure and elemental redistributions of oxidized thin films. The as-deposited CrNx and Cr-Si-N thin films consisted of CrN and Cr2N mixed phases. The faceted Cr2O3 surface oxides, porous inner oxide layer, and oxygen-containing CrSi2 phases were found for the CrN film after oxidation test. On the other hand, the Cr-Si-N film containing 12.2 at.% Si showed a dense surface oxide layer and a thick and compact nitride layer, which indicates its best oxidation resistance. The high temperature oxidation resistance of Cr-Si-N thin films was improved by increasing Si content, due to the amorphous matrix contained nanocomposite microstructure and the formation of amorphous silicon oxide to retard the diffusion paths of oxygen, chromium, silicon, and nitrogen. The lowest parabolic rate constant of 1.48 × 10–2 mg2/cm4/h was obtained for the 12.2 at.% Si contained Cr-Si-N thin films, which provided the best oxidation resistance at 1000 °C for 6 h in this work. It should be noted that the residual tensile stress of thin film had a detrimental effect on the adhesion property during the oxidation test.

The oxidation behavior and microstructural evolution of the nanostructure of Fe-Cr-Al oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) alloys prepared by spark plasma sintering were investigated by high-temperature oxidation experiments in air at 1200 °C for 100 h. The formation of Al2O3 scale was observed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) line scans. The oxidation rate of Fe-Cr-Al ODS alloys is lower than that of conventional Fe-Cr-Al alloys, and the oxide layer formed on the Fe-Cr-Al alloy appeared loose and cracked, whereas the oxide layer formed on the Fe-Cr-Al ODS alloys was adherent and flat. This is due to the high density of dispersed nano-oxides hindering the diffusion of Al element and the formation of vacancies caused by them. In addition, the nano-oxides could also adhere to the oxide layer. Besides, the microstructure of the Fe-Cr-Al ODS alloy had excellent stability during high-temperature oxidation.

In this paper, the high-temperature oxidation resistant coating on the TA15 titanium alloy by laser cladding (LC) of the KF110-B4C-Ag mixed powders was analyzed in detail. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) images indicated that a good metallurgy bond between the fabricated coating/TA15 was formed; also the fine/compact microstructure was produced after a cladding process. The oxidation mass gain of TA15 was higher than that of the coating after LC process, which were 3.72 and 0.91[Formula: see text]mg[Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text], respectively, at 60[Formula: see text]h, greatly enhancing the high temperature oxidation resistance.

In this study, the effect of the addition of Hf on the oxidation behavior of NiTi alloy, which was processed using additive manufacturing and casting, is studied. Thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) were performed at the temperature of 500, 800, and 900 °C to assess the isothermal and dynamic oxidation behavior of the Ni50.4Ti29.6Hf20 at.% alloys for 75 h in dry air. After oxidation, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were used to analyze the oxide scale formed on the surface of the samples during the high-temperature oxidation. Two stages of oxidation were observed for the NiTiHf samples, an increasing oxidation rate during the early stage of oxidation followed by a lower oxidation rate after approximately 10 h. The isothermal oxidation curves were well matched with a logarithmic rate law in the initial stage and then by parabolic rate law for the next stage. The formation of multi-layered oxide was observed for NiTiHf, which consists of Ti oxide, Hf oxide, and NiTiO3. For the binary alloys, results show that by increasing the temperature, the oxidation rate increased significantly and fitted with parabolic rate law. Activation energy of 175.25 kJ/mol for additively manufactured (AM) NiTi and 60.634 kJ/mol for AM NiTiHf was obtained.

Nickel matrix and Si3N4 micron particles were co-deposited on the aluminum alloy by pulse electro-deposition for high temperature performance. Meanwhile, the oxidation resistance was evaluated through the high temperature oxidation test. The phase structure, micrographs and components of the composite coatings were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) together with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) respectively. The results indicated that Si3N4 particles were uniformly distributed across the coating and there were no pores and cracks or other defects at the coating/substrate interface. Ni-Si3N4 composite coatings are characterized by pyramidal micro-crystallite structure. The thickness of Ni-Si3N4 composite coatings were up to 80 μm for 2h. The results also revealed that the Ni-Si3N4 composite coatings presented better oxidation resistance than the pure Ni coating and aluminum alloy at high temperature. After oxidation at 673 K for 8h, the oxidation resistance of Ni-Si3N4 composite coatings presented the improved oxidation resistance behavior compared to pure Ni and the aluminum alloy, respectively.

In order to elucidate the Re effect on oxidation resistance, a high-temperature oxidation test was conducted with two groups of Ni-based superalloys. One group of alloys was characterized by 10mol%Al content (10-Al series). The other group of alloys was characterized by 15mol%Al content (15-Al series). The oxidation resistance decreased clearly with increasing Re content in the 10-Al series alloys, but did not in the 15-Al series alloys.

Nb-16Si-24Ti-6Cr-6Al-2Hf-xB(x=0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6) in situ composites were prepared by arc-melting. Microstructure and the effect of boron on 1250C oxidation resistance of the composites were investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and X-ray energy disperse spectrum(EDS) as well as X-ray diffraction(XRD). The experimental results showed that the high temperature oxidation resistance of the alloy was remarkably improved by adding proper amount of boron. This may be resulted from several beneficial roles of boron, i.e., boron improves the resistance of Nb5Si3 by solid solution strengthening, inhibits the diffusion of oxygen in the matrix, improves the adherence between the oxide scale and the substrate and increases the cracking resistance of the oxide scale.

The oxidation behavior of Co-10Cr-5Al-0.3Y alloy in 1 atm of pure O2 at 700°C was investigated. The addition of 0.3 at.%Y significantly increased the oxidation rate of the alloy and changed the oxidation behavior from the approximate parabolic rate law to linear rate law. The scale grown on the surface at 700°C was porous with many small voids and cracks, and was composed of an outer CoO layer and an inner complex layer rich in Al2O3 and Cr2O3 which were intermingled with yttric oxide and spinel Co(Cr, Al)2O4.
