The effect of 10 at.% Nb on the sintering and high temperature oxidation behavior of W0.5Cr0.5alloy was investigated. Elemental powder blends were made nanostructured by high energy mechanical milling, compacted and finally sintered under reduced atmosphere at 1790°C. The sintered samples were subjected to cyclic isothermal oxidation tests at 800°C to 1200°C in air. The experimental results shows superior sinterability and oxidation protection of W0.5Cr0.5alloy compared to pure W. Characterization of the oxide scales shows porous external W-rich oxide (WO3) formation which is not ideally suitable for oxidation resistance. On the other hand, W-Cr alloy with 10 at.% Nb shows the remarkable sinter densification (~98%) and oxidation resistance up to 1200°C. The oxide scale of the ternary alloy shows formation of stable Cr2O3, Nb2O5oxides and/or complex Cr-Nb oxide (CrNbO4), and there was no evidence of WO3formation in this case.

NiCrAlY coatings were deposited on CrNi3MoVA steel substrates by means of magnetron sputtering. The coatings were characterized in terms of their microstructure, hardness, friction coefficient, high-temperature oxidation resistance. Micro-indentation and tribometer testers were employed to measure the mechanical properties of NiCrAlY coatings and CrNi3MoVA steel. The results showed that the hardness of the coatings ranged from 5.7 to 5.9 GPa, with a higher value than that of CrNi3MoVA steel(4.1-4.3 GPa). The coefficient of steady-state friction of the coatings against 45-carbon-steel balls ranged from 0.35 to 0.40, with a lower value than that of CrNi3MoVA steel(0.63-0.68). The isothermal oxidation behavior at 850°C of the coatings were studied in comparison with CrNi3MoVA steel substrates. The results indicated that NiCrAlY coatings substantially increase the high-temperature oxidation resistance of CrNi3MoVA steel and the oxidation process was retarded mainly by the presence of outer complex oxide scales and a continuous Al2O3 inner layer on the coating.

In the present study the oxidation behavior of β-SiAlON ceramics, which were produced from conventional and high energy mechanical milled powders, was investigated. High energy mechanically milled powders have lower particle sizes ( 130 nm) than those of conventional powders (216 nm) and fully densified at lower temperatures with less amount of additives. The amount of additive is an important parameter to improve the high temperature oxidation resistance of SiAlON ceramics. The cyclic and isothermal oxidation tests were carried out at 1300 and 1400°C in dry air environment. The weight gain of oxidized samples was measured during the oxidation process. The alteration of oxide layer was analyzed by XRD and SEM. The results indicate that oxidation resistance of the samples produced from mechanically milled powders with less amount of additive is higher than that of conventional one. Therefore, β-SiAlON ceramics which were sintered at 100°C lower temperatures with less amount of additive (3.5 wt. % Y2O3), showed a better oxidation resistance.

Laves phase (Cr2X) strengthened Cr solid solution [Cr(X)]-based alloys are under development for a variety of high-temperature structural applications. Among the most promising alloys are castings based on the Cr(Ta)-Cr2Ta eutectic, which exhibit room-temperature fracture toughness in the 10-12 MPa√m range and creep rupture lives in excess of 1000 h at 1000° (138 MPa) in air. These alloys exhibit superior high-temperature oxidation resistance to previously developed Cr(Nb)-Cr2 Nb based alloys despite the general similarities of Ta and Nb. In order to optimize high-temperature oxidation resistance an understanding of why the Cr(Ta)-Cr2Ta alloys are more oxidation resistant is needed. Detailed EPMA characterization of the oxidized scaleswas initiated as a first steptowards gaining this understanding.Fig. 1 shows a backscattered electron image of cast and heat treated and heat treated Cr-10Nb at.% after a 6 cycle, 120 h exposure at 1100°C in humid air. Most of the coupon was converted to a complex mixture of Cr-, Nb-, and Cr+ Nb- oxides.

Ti–Al alloyed coating reinforced by nitrides was fabricated by laser surface alloying technique to improve mechanical properties and high temperature oxidation resistance of Ti–6Al–4V titanium alloy. Microstructures, mechanical properties and high temperature oxidation behavior of the alloyed coating were analyzed. The results show that the alloyed coating consisted of Ti3Al, TiAl2, TiN and Ti2AlN phases. Nitrides with different morphologies were dispersed in the alloyed coating. The maximum microhardness of the alloyed coating was 906[Formula: see text]HV. The friction coefficients of the alloyed coating at room temperature and high temperature were both one-fourth of the substrate. Mass gain of the alloyed coating oxidized at 800[Formula: see text]C for 1000[Formula: see text]h in static air was [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]mg/mm2, which was 1/35th of the substrate. No obvious spallation was observed for the alloyed coating after oxidation. The alloyed coating exhibited excellent mechanical properties and long-term high temperature oxidation resistance, which improved surface properties of Ti–6Al–4V titanium alloy significantly.

In the present study, surface treatment techniques such as room temperature machining (RTM) and low temperature burnishing (LTB) processing have been used to improve the microstructure of GH738 superalloy. Nano-grains and nano-twins are obtained on the top surface of RTM and LTB specimens. It is found that although the grain size of RTM and LTB specimens is almost the same, different types of nano-twins have been produced. Moreover, the effect of RTM and LTB processing on high temperature oxidation behavior of nickel-based superalloy GH738 at 700 °C is investigated. The result shows that LTB specimen has the best high temperature oxidation resistance owing to the formation of nano-grains and higher twins density, which induce to form a continuous protective Al2O3 layer at the interface between outer oxide layer and matrix. It is observed that this layer inhibits the inward diffusion of O and outward diffusion of Ti and significantly improves oxidation resistance of LTB specimen. Furthermore, the effects of nano-grains and crystal defects on the diffusion mechanism of elements are clarified during the high temperature oxidation test.

AbstractThe effect of rare-earth element Y on high-temperature oxidation behavior of Cu-Si alloys at 973 and 1073 K in 0.1 MPa flowing pure O2 has been investigated. Results show at the two temperatures the mass gain of the alloys with different compositions follows the following sequence, Cu-3Si-1.0Y > Cu-3Si-0Y > Cu-3Si-0.5Y alloy. As the Y content increases, the grain size of the alloys decreases, which accelerates the diffusion rate of the alloying elements in the alloys and oxygen under the experimental conditions, increases the ratio of short-path diffusion, and promotes the formation of SiO2 and Y2O3. The three alloys do not form continuous oxide scales of SiO2 or Y2O3, but their rapid formation and dispersed distribution due to the grain-size reduction may also hinder the diffusion of alloying elements and oxygen, which is beneficial to improve the oxidation resistance of the Y-containing alloys. Thereby, the Cu-3Si-0.5Y alloy has good oxidation resistance. The Cu-3Si-1.0Y alloy exhibits largest mass gain among the three alloys, which is due to the fact that in the alloy with higher Y contend and finer grain size, more amount of Y2O3 is more quickly formed, whose mass occupy a more proportion in the whole mass gain of the alloy.

NiCrAlY coatings were prepared using high-velocity oxygen fuel spraying (HVOF), and the coatings were removed from the substrate to achieve a uniform shape. Vacuum heat treatment (VHT) of the as-sprayed coatings was conducted at different temperatures (1000, 1100, and 1200 °C), and the specimens were subjected to isothermal oxidation exposure testing in air at 1100 °C for up to 21 h. The results show that the high temperature oxidation resistance of the coating increased gradually with the increase in VHT temperature, and the coating of VHT1200 had higher oxidation resistance. The high temperature oxidation resistance of the coating was related to the microstructure transformation of the coating. In VHT coatings, β-NiAl became a dispersed irregular block morphology. The γ’-Ni3Al in VHT1000 presented a granular morphology. However, in VHT1100 and VHT1200, γ’-Ni3Al became a lamellar morphology. This transformation of microstructure promotes the form of exclusive α-Al2O3 scale. With the increase in VHT temperature, the content of yttrium on coatings’ surface was increased and the pores were gradually eliminated. The concentration of yttrium on coatings’ surface prevented the formation of θ-Al2O3 and low porosity was beneficial in improving the internal oxidation of the coating.
