Oxidation of Metals Aims and scope Submit manuscript

 

The isothermal-oxidation behavior of Al-rich TiAl alloys containing Y up to 1.0 at.% was studied in synthetic air with a flow of 200–250 mL/min at 800 and 900°C. Oxidation kinetics and scale adherence were studied in terms of the morphological features and microstructural evolution of the oxide scale. In the specimens oxidized at 800°C, all alloys containing 0.3–1.0 at.%Y showed reduced mass gain compared to the Y-free alloy, especially for the 0.3 at.%Y alloy. Under isothermal exposure at 900°C, the addition of small amounts of Y (0.1 and 0.3 at.%) was effective in enhancing the oxidation resistance. The alloys with higher Y contents (0.6 and 1.0 at.%), on the contrary, had a reverse effect on the oxidation resistance by providing rapid diffusion paths in the form of coarse Y2O3 particles close to the substrate. The improvement of oxidation resistance of the alloy with Y additions was due partly to the improved adhesion of the scale and due partly to the formation of a continuous α-Al2O3 layer in the outer scale. Y segregation and/or Y2O3 precipitation at the oxide grain boundaries was effective in decreasing the oxidation rate and refining the oxide grains. The thinner scale was responsible for relaxing the thermal stress and, thus the cohesion between the scale and substrate was greatly improved in Y-containing alloys.
