Hot-salt oxidation characteristics of titanium aluminides
The oxidation and hot-salt corrosion of a Ti-46%Al, 1.8% Nb, 1.9%Cr (at%) alloy were investigated in the temperature range 700-800 degrees C, Oxidation tests were carried out using thermogravimetric analysis and show parabolic oxidation after 30 h for salt-coated and uncoated samples. Oxide-scale morphologies were examined using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction for various oxidation times. The X-ray data reveal the presence of rutile, alumina and NaTiO2 as surface oxides. For quantitative analysis, the cross-sections of the specimens were analysed by energy dispersive X-ray analysis.
