Phase stabilization and oxidation of a continuous composition spread multi-principal element (AlFeNiTiVZr)1-xCrx alloy
Abstract
Multi-Principal Element Alloys (MPEA) have been hypothesized to maintain a stable single alloy phase and resist corrosion at high temperatures, which are desirable in various functional applications, including material of turbine blades. However, studies into oxidation resistant alloys have been constrained to individual MPEA systems or a limited selection of compositions within those systems. Here, High-Throughput Experimental (HTE) techniques were utilized to rapidly assess phase stability and resistance to oxidation of an (AlFeNiTiVZr)1-xCrx continuous composition spread (CCS) thin-film alloy system. High-throughput synchrotron diffraction and Raman spectroscopy were used to identify phases, especially high symmetry structures and oxides, as a function of annealing time and composition. The formation of two distinct phase regions, R1 and R2, across the CCS was observed. One of these phase regions, R2, exhibited a stable high symmetry BCC-like phase at Cr concentrations greater than 25.4 at%, and grew a passivating mixed metal surface oxide; whereas, the R1 phase region, decomposed on oxidation to multiple oxides and reacted with the substrate to form silicides. The passivating mixed metal oxide layer appears to prevent destabilization of the (AlFeNiTiVZr)1-xCrx MPEA BCC solid solution. Furthermore, at longer annealing times the passivating phase was seen only above 29.2 at% Cr. Highmore »
