Effect of Chromium Content on the Oxidation Behavior of a Ta Stabilized γ’-Strengthened Polycrystalline Co-30Ni-10Al-4W-4Ti-2Ta Alloy
The high-temperature oxidation behaviors of polycrystalline Co-30Ni-10Al-4W-4Ti-2Ta superalloys with Cr contents ranging from 1 to 5 at.% are characterized at 900 °C to provide benchmark data for the alloy design of the CoNi-based superalloys. The mass gain curves for all three alloys exhibit parabo...

| description | The high-temperature oxidation behaviors of polycrystalline Co-30Ni-10Al-4W-4Ti-2Ta superalloys with Cr contents ranging from 1 to 5 at.% are characterized at 900 °C to provide benchmark data for the alloy design of the CoNi-based superalloys. The mass gain curves for all three alloys exhibit parabolic growth, and the addition of 5Cr at.% is sufficient to decrease the oxidation rate by two orders of magnitude compared to the Cr-free alloy. Furthermore, cross-sectional findings reveal that these three alloys form qualitatively similar oxide scales composed of an outer oxide layer of Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> and CoAl<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> phase on top of an Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> scale, following the inner oxide layers of Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, TiO<sub>2</sub>, and TiTaO<sub>4</sub>, and internally oxidized Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> precipitate. The alloy forms a chromium-rich oxide scale as the Cr addition increased, and the concentration of Cr in the scale/alloy interface increases, promoting the growth of Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, while CoAl<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> and Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nucleation is inhibited. The results further indicate that Cr has a superior effect on improving the oxidation resistance of CoNi-based alloys and that a higher content of Cr can assist the formation of a continuous Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, and TiTaO<sub>4</sub> layers, which in turn hampers outer Co and Ni, and inward oxygen flux. |
