Abstract
The oxidation kinetics of prenitrided, and subsequently oxidized in either air or oxygen, Ti-0-96 wt % Si alloy have been investigated in the temperature range of 900–1100°C. The activation energies for various gas-alloy reactions are reported. Comparative kinetics data are given for oxidation of the alloy in oxygen or air without prenitridation. The oxidation resistance of nitrogen pretreated alloy is about the same as its resistance to oxidation in air. Temperature cycling during oxidation does not exert a beneficial effect on the oxidation characteristics of the alloy. X-ray and electron microprobe analyses reveal the presence of TiO2, Ti2O, δ-TiN, and ε-TiN in the scale and the concentration profiles of Ti, Si, O, and N in the alloy.
