Title: Examination of the titanium environment in a Rene 41 nickel base superalloy by X-ray absorption spectroscopy

Results of an X-ray absorption study show that titanium has acted as an internal getter of oxygen, confirming the conjecture that the diminished performance of Rene 41 honeycomb panels was related to internal oxidation during the prebrazing oxidation heat treatment. Two Rene 41 0.0015-in. foils were examined after mill-annealing at 1975 F with and without being air oxidized in an electric furnace at 1600 F for 14 minutes.
