Improvement in the oxidation resistance of Nb-Ti-Si-Cr-Al-Hf alloys containing alloyed Ge and B

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The oxidation behaviour for Nb-Si based alloys was performed in air at 1200°C and 1250°C. The weight gains of Nb-24Ti-15Si-13Cr-2Al-2Hf (at.%) alloy and Nb-24Ti-15Si-13Cr-2Al-2Hf-4B-5Ge (at.%) alloy after oxidation at 1250°C for 100h were 156.7mg/cm2 and 32.5mg/cm2, respectively. The oxide scale of the Nb-24Ti-15Si-13Cr-2Al-2Hf (at.%) alloy was porous and loose, while that of the Nb-24Ti-15Si-13Cr-2Al-2Hf-4B-5Ge (at.%) alloy was dense and protective. The presence of alloyed B and Ge improved the protective SiO2 phase grown during high temperature oxidation, leading to the formation of a continuous and dense oxide scale.
