ABSTRACTTitanium aluminides have potential interest for high temperature applications because of their low density and high temperature strength. In this study the isothermal oxidation behavior in air and in the temperature range 700–850°C of γ-α2Ti-Al bulk alloys with different additions of W (0–9.5 wt.%) and Si (0–5.0 wt.%) was investigated. The samples were prepared by arc-melting starting from pure element powders (99.99%). After thermal treatments, for homogenisation and phase stabilisation, the samples were tested using a thermal analysis apparatus in order to evaluate their oxidation resistance. The oxidation rates show the beneficial effect of the W and Si additions. The growth and adherence of the protective scale on alloys have been investigated in conjunction with detailed oxide scale characterisation using the techniques of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results of the study are used for critical assessment of the oxidation mechanisms leading to the formation of surface layers of different compositions.

Ti (C,N)-based cermets with varying WC additions (Ti (C0.6N0.4)-36Ni-12Mo-1C-xWC, x = 0, 3, 6 and 9 wt%) were prepared by conventional powder metallurgy techniques. The microstructure and mechanical properties of all four Ti (C,N)-based cermets were investigated. Isothermal oxidation of all four cermets were also investigated in air at 800°C up to 100 h using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The grains of Ti (C,N)-based cermets became more homogeneous with the increase of WC content. The TRS and fracture toughness increased with the increase of WC content and then decreased when WC content exceeded 6wt%, but hardness decreased continuously with the increase of WC content. The oxide scales formed on the surface of all four samples during the oxidation process were porous and multi-layered, consisting of NiO outerlayer and TiO2 based innerlayer, respectively. The thickness of the oxide scales and oxidation rates increased with the increase of WC content, especially when the content of WC addition reached 9wt%. The cermet with 6wt% WC addition showed excellent mechanical properties and acceptable high temperature oxidation resistance.

Si-Ti coatings were prepared on the surface of T-222 alloy by fused slurry method at different temperatures (1425-1500°C). Microstructure and composition of the coatings were characterized and analysed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) respectively. The coating fabricated at 1450°C exhibited excellent structure compatible with high temperature oxidation resistance. Its surface is relatively smooth with few holes and cracks and the main phase on the surface is (Ti, Ta)Si that possesses outstanding corrosion resistance. Moreover, the cross-sectional structure of the coating is smooth and compact which can effectively prevent O2 from permeation. The isothermal oxidation behaviors in pure O2 atmosphere at 1500°C for 2h finally demonstrate that the optimum coating temperature is 1450°C.

ABSTRACTA two-phase titanium aluminide alloy was systematically doped with carbon to improve its high temperature strength. Solid solutions and precipitates of carbon were formed by different thermal treatments. A fine dispersion of perovskite precipitates was found to be very effective for improving the high temperature strength and creep resistance of the material. The strengthening mechanisms were characterized by flow stresses and activation parameters. The investigations were accompanied by electron microscope observation of the defect structure which was generated during deformation. Special attention was paid on the interaction mechanisms of perfect and twinning dislocations with the carbide precipitates.

Nb-base refractory intermetallic materials have potential interest for high temperature applications thanks to their low density and high temperature strength. While advanced intermetallics in monolithic form have limited prospects for providing the required balance of properties for use at high temperatures, two-phase or multicomponent intermetallic systems composed of a ductile, Nb-base refractory phase in equilibrium with one or more silicide intermetallics show promise for further development as structural materials. In the present paper, Nb-base refractory alloys based on Nb-35Ti-15Al (at.%) were doped with small amount of Si (1 and 2 at% of silicon) addition to improve its high temperature strength by keeping an acceptable ductility at room temperature. The samples were prepared by arc-melting starting from pure elements (99.99%). The silicon addition effects on the microstructural features were investigated by using X Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) techniques. Its effects on the mechanical properties were assessed by compression tests at ambient and high temperatures. Compression tests show the beneficial effect of the Si addition on strength.

AbstractThe high-temperature oxidation resistance of Nb-40Ti-15Al-(0 or 5)Cr alloys has been studied. The kinetics and activation energy for the isothermal oxidation of Nb-40Ti-15Al are similar to pure titanium. Detailed TEM analysis of the oxidized Nb-40Ti-15Al alloy reveals that oxygen dissolution has produced a case layer by the decomposition of the matrix B2 phase into oxygen saturated alpha-Ti and an A15 phase. Internal oxidation of the A15 phase to form AlNbO4 occurred in the case layer near the scale/metal interface. The phase separated case layer evolved into a segregated oxide layer containing a co-continuous TiO2 phase. These morphologies of the oxide scale and case layer correlate well with the kinetic data, and suggest that oxygen dissolution in α-Ti and diffusion through TiO2 control the high-temperature oxidation rates. The Cr additions reduced the thickness of the case layer and slowed the oxidation kinetics, but did not change the mechanism. In addition, excellent cyclic oxidation resistant was provided by the silicide diffusion coatings.

The high-temperature strength and thermal fatigue properties of Fe-Cr-Nb-Mo ferritic stainless steel (FSSNEW) developed for automobile exhaust system were investigated. The results show that the high-temperature tensile strength and yield strength of FSSNEW are better than or equal to those of the presently applied ferritic stainless steels. The thermal fatigue cracks nucleate at the V-notch. The inclusions along grain boundaries become prior regions for initiation of the cracks. The inclusions distributed at the defects make the formation of cracks in the materials easily through the effects of cycle thermal stress and thermal strain. The length and propagated rate of thermal fatigue cracks increase with the maximum tested temperature increasing. When the maximum temperature arrives at 900°C, the high-temperature oxidation is serious along the grain boundaries, which aggravates the cracks propagating along the grain boundaries. The principle mechanism of stress assisted grain boundary oxygen (SAGBO) embrittlement can be applied to illustrate the effects of external stress on aggravating the damage caused by environmental factors. Therefore, the high-temperature oxidation is the main reason for the propagation of thermal fatigue cracks. The FSSNEW is satisfied for the applied requirement of high-temperature strength in the hot side of the automobile exhaust system.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the thermal oxidation characteristics of the unsaturated bonds (C=C) of trimethylolpropane trioleate (TMPTO) and to reveal the high temperature oxidation decay mechanism of unsaturated esters and the nature of the anti-oxidation properties of the additives. Design/methodology/approach Using a DXR laser microscopic Raman spectrometer and Linkam FTIR600 temperature control platform, the isothermal oxidation experiments of TMPTO with or without 1.0 wt. % of different antioxidants were performed. Findings The results indicated that the Raman peaks of =C-H, C=C and -CH2- weaken gradually with prolonged oxidation time, and the corresponding Raman intensities drop rapidly at higher temperatures. The aromatic amine antioxidant can decrease the attenuation of peak intensity, as it significantly reduces the rate constant of C=C thermal oxidation. The hindered phenolic antioxidant has a protective effect during the early stages of oxidation (induction period), but it may accelerate the oxidation of C=C afterwards. Originality/value Research on the structure changes of synthetic esters during oxidation by Raman spectroscopy will be of great importance in promoting the use of Raman spectroscopy to analyze the oxidation of lubricants.

ABSTRACTThis article describes the phase stability, microstructures and mechanical properties of silicide-reinforced Nb alloys in Nb-Mo-W-Si quaternary system prepared by arc melting and heat treatment. There exists an equilibrium two-phase field of Nb solid solution (Nbss) and α(Nb,Mo,W)5Si3 in a Nb-rich region of this quaternary system. Alloys in this region have a eutectic reaction of L → Nbss+β(Nb,Mo,W)5Si3 during solidification. The β(Nb,Mo,W)5Si3 transforms to the stable α(Nb,Mo,W)5Si3 at very high temperature. The cast and heat treated hypoeutectic alloys consist of dendritic Nbss, network-shaped Nbss matrix and α(Nb,Mo,W)5Si3. These quaternary alloys exhibit excellent high-temperature strength, although the fracture toughness is still unacceptable for practical applications.

This paper investigates the performance of Fe-33Ni-18Cr alloy at high temperature oxidation. The samples were isothermally oxidized at three different oxidation temperatures, namely, 600 °C, 800 °C and 1000 °C for 150 hours. This alloy was ground by using several grits of SiC paper as well as weighed by using analytical balance and measured by using Vernier caliper before oxidation test. The characterization was carried out using scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that, the higher oxidation temperatures, the weight gain of the samples were increase. Sample of 1000 °C indicate more weight gain compared to samples oxidized at 600 °C and 800 °C. The kinetic of oxidation of all samples followed the parabolic rate law. The surface morphology of oxide scale at lower temperature is thin and form a continuous layer, while at high temperature, the oxide scale develops thick layer with angular oxide particles.
