Title: FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTS OF MOLTEN BORON OXIDE ON HIGH TEMPERATURE MATERIALS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4171466

The corrosion resistance of a group of high-temperature materials, typical of those available for use in aircraft power plants, was evaluated in a boron oxide enviromnent. Exposure consisted of cyclic immersion in B/sub 2/O/sub 3/ at 1750 to 2200 deg F for periods up to 145 hours in an air atmosphere. The results indicate aluminum, manganese, and carbon as alloy constituents are detrimental to corrosion resistance, while Si appears to produce beneficial effects. Several possible mechanisms of attack by molten boron oxide are postulated to explain tbe data. (auth)
