Experimental observations in support of the dynamic-segregation theory to explain the reactive-element effect
- Oak Ridge National Lab., TN (United States)
The addition of reactive elements can have a significant effect on the oxidation behavior of alumina- and chromia-forming alloys. A model has been developed to explain the effects associated with the addition of reactive elements that is based on the segregation of reactive-element ions to scale grain boundaries and the metal-oxide interface. Reactive-element ions use these interaces as pathways for diffusion from the metal substrate to the gas interface of the scale. The driving force for this outward diffusion is the oxygen potential gradient across the scale. Doping of the scale grain boundaries results in scale growth primarily by inward oxygen diffusion, while doping at the metal-oxide interface slows the growth of interfacial voids and thus improves scale adhesion.
