In isothermal oxidation condition, water vapour has little effect on the oxidation rate and scale composition of a nickel-based SY 625 alloy oxidized at 1100°C. The scale is composed of an outer Cr2O3and an internal CrNbO4scale. The oxide scale morphology differs between dry and wet conditions. Under dry conditions the oxide scale appears to be compact and chromia pegs are observed at the internal interface. Under wet conditions, porosities are observed spread inside the scale and the chromia grain size is smaller. At this temperature some scale spallation is observed under dry and wet conditions. Under cyclic oxidation conditions the oxide scale adherence is slightly improved in wet environment. The chromia scale is adherent during the 4 first oxidation cycles. In dry air, spallation occured after the first cycle. In dry and wet conditions, after the chromia scale spallation has started, NiO and NiCr2O4form first. NiMoO4forms later on the alloy surface during the cycling test. The best resistance of the alloy under thermal cycling conditions under wet conditions is related to the presence of a more plastic and adherent scale owing to a higher scale porosity and smaller chromia grain size compared to dry conditions.

Water vapour has little effect on the oxidation rate and scale composition of a nickel-based SY 625 alloy oxidized between 900 and 1100°C. At 900 and 1000°C, the outer scale is composed of Cr2O3 and a continuous NbNi4 - Ni3Mo subscale is found at the oxide/alloy interface. At 1100°C the scale is composed of an outer chromia scale and an internal CrNbO4 subscale. The oxide scale morphology differs between dry and wet conditions. Under dry conditions the oxide scale appears to be compact and chromia pegs are observed at the internal interface. Under wet conditions, porosities are observed inside the scale. At 1100°C some scale spallation is observed under dry and wet conditions.

The specimens of single crystal superalloy DD6 with 0.10% Hf and 0.47% Hf were prepared in the directionally solidified furnace. The effect of Hf content on the isothermal oxidation resistance of the second generation single crystal superalloy DD6 was studied at 1000°Cin ambient atmosphere. Morphology of oxides was examined by SEM, and their composition was analyzed by XRD and EDS. The experimental results show that the oxidation resistance of DD6 alloy with 0.47% Hf is better than that of the alloy with 0.10% Hf. The alloy with different Hf content all obeys parabolic rate law during oxidation for 100h at 1000°C. The increase of Hf content can promote the Al2O3 formation and decreases the proportion of NiO. The oxide grain size and the thickness of the oxide layer all reduce with increasing of Hf content. The oxide scale of the alloy with different Hf content is made up of an outer NiO layer with a small amount of Co3O4, inner Al2O3 and Cr2O3 layer with a small amount of TaO2.

The corrosion of four Fe-Cr alloys (Cr: 9, 12, 20, and 25%) with different Cr contents were subjected to cyclic oxidation furnace in Ar-10%O2 atmosphere at 950oC for 120 h. The samples after oxidation were investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical metallography and SEM/EDS. The results indicated that increasing Cr content reduced the oxidation rate and the scale cracking. Alloys with less Cr content occurred breakaway oxidation due to formation of Fe-rich oxide scale. However, a thin protective chromia scale was observed on alloys with Cr > 20%. The corrosion behaviour on Fe-Cr alloy was then discussed based on experimental observation.

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.

The oxidation resistance behaviour of a number of surface-treated FeCrAl commercial alloys and some model alloys of well-defined composition, incorporating a range of reactive elements in trace amounts, has been studied under thermal cyclic conditions in air with and without additions of water vapour. Additions of reactive elements such as Zr, La, Y, Hf modify the oxidation resistance behaviour of FeCrAl-alloys by improving the scale adherence and consequently may extend the lifetime of FeCrAl steels. The presence of the water vapour can affect oxidation in a number of different ways. Our results may indicate that high content of water vapour can cause the lives of such alloys to be decreased. This work forms part of a larger European-funded project to evaluate physical properties, microstructural features, oxidation/corrosion resistance and lifetime improvement. The correlation between alloy parameters and lifetime; as well as the modeling of oxide scale behaviour as function of cycling conditions is also studied.

AbstractShort-term cyclic oxidation tests were performed at 1200°C and 1500°C on ²-NiAl with 1 vol% oxide dispersions of Y2O3, La2O3 and Al2O3. The Y2O3 addition resulted in a very adherent ±-Al2O3 scale at 1200°C, with some improvement in the scale adhesion at 1500°C, compared to an undoped ²-NiAl alloy. The La2O3 and Al2O3 additions resulted in more severe oxidation than the undoped ²-NiAl at 1200°C. Both Y and La ions are found to segregate to ±-Al2O3 scale grain boundaries using scanning transmission electron microscopy/energy dispersive x-ray analysis. However, at both 1200°C and 1500°C, the La addition appears to cause a rapid increase in the isothermal oxidation rate, leading to excessive scale spallation.

Cyclic oxidation behavior and microstructural degradation of nanocrystalline Ni–20Cr–xAl (where x=4 wt %, 7 wt %, and 10 wt %) coatings have been investigated. The coatings were deposited on Haynes 230 samples using a magnetron sputtering technique. Cyclic oxidation tests were conducted on the uncoated and coated samples at peak temperatures of 750°C and 1010°C for up to 2070 thermal cycles between the peak and room temperatures. The results showed that a dense Al2O3 scale was formed on the external surface of all coatings after exposure at both temperatures. All three coatings showed no evidence of internal oxidation after exposure at 750°C. Among the three coatings, only the coating containing 4 wt % Al showed evidence of internal oxidation along the columnar grain boundaries after exposure at 1010°C. The Al2O3 scale exhibited good spallation resistance during cyclic oxidation tests at both temperatures. As the Al content in the coating increased from 4 wt % to 7 wt % or 10 wt %, thermal exposure led to precipitation of coarse Al-rich particles at the coating/substrate interface. In addition, thermal exposure at both temperatures led to rapid depletion of Al in the coating and grain coarsening of the coatings. The improvement in oxide scale spallation resistance and accelerated depletion of aluminum are attributed to the ultrafine grain structure of the coating and oxide scale.

Cyclic oxidation behavior and microstructural degradation of nanocrystalline Ni-20Cr-xAl (where x = 4, 7, and 10 wt.%) coatings have been investigated. The coatings were deposited on Haynes 230 samples using a magnetron sputtering technique. Cyclic oxidation tests were conducted on the coated and uncoated samples at peak temperatures of 750°C and 1010°C for up to 2070 thermal cycles between the peak and room temperatures. The results showed that a dense Al2O3 scale was formed on the external surface of all coatings after exposure at both temperatures. All three coatings showed no evidence of internal oxidation after exposure at 750°C. Among the three coatings, the coating containing 4 wt.% Al only showed evidence of internal oxidation along the columnar grain boundaries after exposure at 1010°C. The Al2O3 scale exhibited good spallation resistance during cyclic oxidation tests at both temperatures.

The cyclic oxidation behavior of Co-10Cr-5Al alloys in atmosphere at 700 °C was investigated. The addition of 0.3 at.% Y changed the oxidation behavior from the approximate parabolic rate law to complex mode. The scale grown on the surface of Co-10Cr-5Al cracked seriously, while the oxide scale the Y doped alloy had better adhesive property. Yttrium doped in the sample promoted the forming of continuous Al2O3layer and decreased the oxidation rate of Co-10Cr-5Al alloys.
