Abstract

B2 FeAl intermetallic compounds modified with reactive elements (REs) including Sc and Y were fabricated by vacuum arc-melting, and the isothermal oxidation behavior of the RE-doped alloys at 1373 K was investigated. Both Sc and Y single-doping significantly decrease the alumina film growth rate of the alloys. The alumina film growth rate of Sc + Y co-doped alloy even further reduces compared to that of the Sc and Y single-doped alloys. The synergistic effect produced by Sc + Y co-doping on the growth behavior of alumina was discussed. It could be anticipated that the combined additions of Sc and Y which have matched chemical properties might decrease the alumina film growth rate more effectively and provide FeAl alloys with enhanced oxidation resistance.
