Deformation and Phase Transformations During Cyclic Oxidation of Ni-Al and Ni-Pt-Al

Journal Article · · Journal of the Minerals Metals & Materials Society (JOM)

The reversible high-temperature {gamma}' to {beta} phase transformation may be critical to explaining the unusual high-temperature oxidation behavior of (Ni,Pt)Al alloys and coatings. During high-temperature, high-frequency (1 h) cyclic oxidation in dry, flowing O{sub 2}, unprecedented macroscopic deformation was observed in two-phase ({gamma}'+{beta}) cast specimens of Hf-doped Ni-Al at 1,150 C and Hf-doped Ni-Pt-Al at 1,100 and 1,150 C, Outside of this two-phase field or when the cycle frequency was decreased to 100h, no deformation was observed. Using high-temperature x-ray diffraction in an inert environment, the {beta}-to-{gamma}' phase ratio was observed to increase above 1,000 C, causing a 2.5% volume change. The addition of platinum appeared to lower the transformation temperature consistent with the deformation observed in castalloys and rumpling of simple and platinum-modified aluminide coatings.
