Effect of minor Nb on isothermal-oxidation and hot corrosion behavior of two Nickel-based superalloys under Na2SO4 / Na2SO4-NaCl

Two nickel-based superalloys with and without minor Nb were prepared using double vacuum melting. The comparison of microstructure, isothermal-oxidation and hot corrosion behavior under molten Na2SO4 / Na2SO4+25wt. % NaCl at 900 C was evaluated. Results indicated that Nb accelerated the formation of chromia scale in a short transient stage, leading to a lower scaling rate. Nb also inhibited the internal oxidation/ nitridation. Both significantly improved the hot corrosion resistance under Na2SO4. However, the beneficial effect of Nb is slight under mixed salts with NaCl. The beneficial effects of Nb on oxidation and hot corrosion are discussed in detail.

Remarkable thermal stability of light-induced Ru–ON linkage isomers in mixed salts of a ruthenium amine complex with a trans-ON–Ru–F coordinate

The novel complexes with trans-ON–Ru–F coordinate exhibit the highest thermal stability of Ru–ON photoinduced isomers.
