The effect of Ti addition on oxidation behavior of FeAl intermetallic alloy
- Shanghai Jiao Tong Univ. (China)
The influence of Ti addition on the high temperature oxidation behaviors of FeAl intermetallic alloys in air at 1,000 C and 1,100 C have been investigated. The oxidation kinetics of FeAl alloys were examined by the weight gain method and oxide products were examined by XRD, SEM, EDS and EPMA. The results showed that the oxidation kinetic curves of both Ti-doped and binary Fe-36.5Al alloys were described as different parabolas followed the formula: ({Delta}W/S){sup 2} = K{sub p}t. The parabolic rate constant, K{sub p} values are about 2.4 and 3.3 mg{sup 2}cm{sup {minus}4}h{sup {minus}1} for Fe-36.5Al alloy and about 1.3 and 2.0 mg{sup 2}cm{sup {minus}4}h{sup {minus}1} for Fe-36.5Al-2Ti alloy when oxidizing at 1,000 C and 1,100 C respectively. The difference between Fe-36.5Al and Fe-36.5Al-2Ti alloy is not only in the surface morphology but also in the phase components. In the surface there is only {alpha}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} oxide for the Fe-36.5Al alloy while there are {alpha}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} and TiO oxide for the Fe-36.5Al-2Ti alloy. The effects of Ti addition on the oxidation resistance of FeAl alloy were discussed based on the microstructural evidence.
