The oxidation behavior of Fe–Si alloys at 1073K in air was investigated. The oxidation kinetics described by the parabolic rate law of diffusion controlled oxidation and the oxidation rate decrease with the increasing Si content. Fe-Si alloys were oxidized for different times at 1073K to obtain the same scale thickness of approximately 30μm. Observations of scale cross-sections indicated the structure of oxide scale and elemental distribution in oxide scales strongly depends on Si content. The oxide scale on Fe-Si alloys with low Si content consisted of three layers with an outer Fe2O3, an intermediate Fe3O4 and an inner FeO and some voids were formed in Fe3O4 and FeO layers. The Si-rich oxide layer was formed at the scale/alloy interface of Fe-Si alloys with high Si content. Furthermore, the amount of internal oxidation zone increased with the increasing Si content. Observations of scale cross-sections indicated that the structure of oxide scale and elemental distribution in oxide scale strongly depend on Si content.

AbstractThe long-term oxidation behavior on a Ti-2Al-2.5Zr alloy with and without pre-oxidation oxidized at 300 in an alkaline steam for about 13000h were studied. Some of the samples were subjected to 400°C deionized water steam at a pressure of 10MPa for 72 hours for pre-oxidation. A comparison study has been carried out between the pre-oxidized and without pre-oxidized Ti-2Al-2.5Zr to determine the influence of pre-oxidation upon the properties of oxidation resistance. The result analysis showed that the oxide scales on the Ti-2Al-2.5Zr alloy consisted of Al2TiO5, TiO2, Ti3O5, Ti2O3, Al2O3 and TiO. The oxidation kinetics showed that the weight gains of the pre-oxidized samples were much less than that of the without pre-oxidized samples. The AES results showed that the whole thickness of the pre-oxidized sample thinner than that of the without pre-oxidized one, in contrast the pattern for the stable oxide scale was reversed, i.e. the pre-oxidized sample was much thicker. It is thought that pre-oxidation is an effective method to enhance the oxidation resistance of Ti-2Al-2.5Zr.

The effect of the phase fraction ratio between Al3Mg2 and Mg2Si on the oxidation resistance of Al–Mg–Si alloys at high temperatures was investigated. With addition of 1 mass%Si in Al-6 mass%Mg alloy, the as-cast microstructures showed formation of Mg2Si phase by eutectic reactions. With increasing Si content more than 3 mass%, the Mg2Si and Si are formed as eutectic phases with no β-Al3Mg2 phase. In addition, with an increase in the Si content from 3 mass%, significantly refined as-cast microstructures and distribution of extended eutectic phase areas were observed. The oxidized cross-sections of Al-6 mass%Mg and Al-6 mass%Mg-1 mass%Si alloys showed coarse and dark areas, which are considered as oxide clusters, nonuniformly grown into the matrix. However, Al-6 mass%Mg-3 mass%Si and Al-6 mass%Mg-5 mass%Si alloys had no significantly grown oxide clusters on the surfaces. Based on the results, it was concluded that the reduction of the ratio between β-Al3Mg2 and Mg2Si phases can reduce the rapid oxidation of Mg.

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.

The isothermal oxidation behavior of Zr2Al3C4 in the temperature range of 500 to 1000 °C for 20 h in air has been investigated. The oxidation kinetics follow a parabolic law at 600 to 800 °C and a linear law at higher temperatures. The activation energy is determined to be 167.4 and 201.2 kJ/mol at parabolic and linear stages, respectively. The oxide scales have a monolayer structure, which is a mixture of ZrO2 and Al2O3. As indicated by x-ray diffraction and Raman spectra, the scales formed at 500 to 700 °C are amorphous, and at higher temperatures are α-Al2O3 and t-ZrO2 nanocrystallites. The nonselective oxidation of Zr2Al3C4 can be attributed to the strong coupling between Al3C2 units and ZrC blocks in its structure, and the close oxygen affinity of Zr and Al.

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.

This work focuses on the oxidation behavior of 2.4wt.%C-30wt.%Cr-3.75wt.%V cast iron in air at 1000 °C for 1-48 h with weight gain measurements taken at different times. The oxidized surfaces and cross sections were characterized by XRD, OM, SEM and EDS. It was found that the as-cast microstructure consisted of a ferritic matrix and M7C3 carbide. The surface oxide scale consisted of multi-oxides and the grain size of the oxides increased with increasing holding times. XRD and SEM-EDS results revealed that the multi-oxide layer can be Cr2O3, (Fe,Cr,V)2O3 and SiO2. After about 48 h, a continuous SiO2 inner-layer was observed and the oxide scale tended to swell, contained pores, and became detached from the surface because of its poor adherence.

Despite the fact that conventional high temperature titanium alloys possess a good combination of low weight, high strength and good corrosion resistance, their operational temperatures do not exceed 540-600 °C, since at higher temperatures they suffer from extensive oxidation, scaling and formation of a brittle oxygen-reach diffusion layer on their surface, so-called ‘apha-case’. The alloying with silicon was regarded as a promising way to raise the working temperatures of titanium alloys, since silicon is known to improve oxidation resistance, oxide scale adherence and high temperature creep behavior of titanium without noticeable deterioration of its ductility. The present paper was focused on studying of the oxidation kinetics and the formation of oxide scale and alpha-case layers on a series of experimental Ti−Al−Si based alloys, additionally alloyed with zirconium and tin. The oxidation kinetics of the experimental alloys upon exposure in air at 700 °С for up to 240 hours was examined and compared with that of commercially available Ті−6242 alloy. The oxide scale thickness, its phase composition and crystal morphology were characterized using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), while the alpha-case layer was analyzed using SEM and microhardness measurements. According to the experimental findings, the experimental Ti−Al−Si based alloys demonstrated a good potential for their use at high temperatures.

High Si steels (base steel and with addition of 0.1, 0.3, 0.5mass% Mo) were oxidized in a N2-3%O2-20%H2O atmosphere at 1150oC for 0.3-10.8ks. The oxidation kinetics showed that base steel has the highest weight gain. In contrast, 0.5Mo has the lowest weight gain. From SEM results, the scale thickness decreased as Mo content increased. Distribution of alloying elements showed that Mo is enriched in internal oxidation zone (IOZ) and played a role in slowing the outward diffusion of Fe, thus, producing a thinner Fe oxide scale and lower weight gain.

Abstract The effects of adding Cr and Al on the oxidation behavior of a Ti5Si3-incorporated MoSiBTiC alloy (46Mo–28Ti–14Si–6C–6B, at%) were investigated at 800 and 1,100°C. The addition of Cr and Al largely improved the oxidation resistance of the MoSiBTiC alloy at 800°C due to the formation of Cr2(MoO4)3 and Al2(MoO4)3 in the oxide scales. These protective molybdates mainly formed on the molybdenum solid solution (Moss) and Mo3Si phases that show poor oxidation resistance in the Cr- and Al-free alloy and consequently increased the oxidation resistance of the alloys. However, accelerated oxidation occurred on the 10Al alloy after the long-term oxidation test, suggesting that the formed oxide scale has limited protection ability. At 1,100°C, the addition of Cr and Al also enhanced the oxidation resistance to some extent by forming Cr2O3 and Al2O3 in the oxide scales.

The effect of Mo on the oxidation behavior of TiNiAl at 1073K has been investigated. It is found that 1at.% Mo addition can increase the diffusion of Al in the alloys and promote the formation of dense and continuous Al-rich oxide layer. Therefore the oxygen diffusion can be effectively impeded and the oxidation behavior of TiNiAl is improved. The observation of the cross-sectional oxidation layer showed that beneath the top oxide scale a Mo-rich oxide layer formed. Because the oxide of Mo is volatile at high temperature, voids formed in the oxide scales during the oxidation process. 3at.% Mo addition could cause cracks between the oxide scale and the substrate, resulting in poor adhesion of the oxide scale to the substrate.
