Abstract

The high temperature oxidized behavior of Ti-50Al, Ti-50Al-15Cr, Ti-45Al-15Cr and Ti-67Al-8Cr (at.%)alloy at 900-1000°C was studied. The results show that Ti-50Al-15Cr, Ti-45Al-15Cr and Ti-67Al-8Cr have good oxidation resistance. The weight gain at 950°C for Ti-50Al-15Cr and Ti-67Al-8Cr is more than that at 1000°C, which is due to a decrease in titanium activity in Ti-Al-Cr alloys when Cr is added into Ti-Al alloys. Oxides formed on the surface of Ti-50Al-15Cr, Ti-45Al-15Cr and Ti-67Al-8Cr after oxidation consist of α-Al2O3 and tiny TiO2. The formation of Al2O3 is attributed to the role of Cr. Effect of Cr can be described by gettering effect.
