Development of rapidly solidified oxidation resistant alloys

The development of iron-base alloys that contain low concentrations of expensive and/or strategic metals, but that are very resistant to oxidation at elevated tempratures was investigated. Rapid solidification processing was employed to make alloys that are uniform in composition, that comprise very fine grains 10 microns and that contain a uniform dispersion of very fine ( 0.5 microns) nonmetallic inclusions. Each of these factors contribute to the oxidation behavior of alloys. The compositional and processing variables that yield the optimum oxidation resistance are described.

Longitudinal shear behavior of several oxide dispersion strengthened alloys

Two commercial oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) alloys, MA-753 and MA-754, and three experimental ODS alloys, MA-757E, MA-755E, and MA-6000E, were tested in shear at 760 C. Comparisons were made with other turbine blade and vane alloys. All of the ODS alloys exhibited less shear strength than directionally solidified Mar-M 200 = Hf or then conventionally cast B-1900. The strongest ODS alloy tested, MA-755E, was comparable in both shear and tensile strength to the lamellar directionally solidified eutectic alloy gamma/gamma prime - delta. Substantial improvements in shear resistance were found for all alloys tested when the geometry of the specimen was changed from one generating a transverse tensile stress in the shear area to one generating a transverse compressive stress. Finally, 760 C shear strength as a fraction of tensile strength was found to increase linearly with the log of the transverse tensile ductility.

The strongest ODS alloy tested, MA-755E, was comparable in both shear and tensile strength to the lamellar directionally solidified eutectic alloy gamma/gamma-prime - delta. Substantial improvements in shear resistance were found for all alloys tested when the geometry of the specimen was changed from one generating a transverse tensile stress in the shear area to one generating a transverse compressive stress. Finally, 760-C shear strength as a fraction of tensile strength was found to increase linearly with the log of the transverse tensile ductility.

COREST: A FORTRAN computer program to analyze paralinear oxidation behavior and its application to chromic oxide forming alloys

A FORTRAN computer program (COREST) was developed to analyze the high-temperature paralinear oxidation behavior of metals. It is based on a mass-balance approach and uses typical gravimetric input data. COREST was applied to predominantly Cr2O3-forming alloys tested isothermally for long times. These alloys behaved paralinearly above 1100 C as a result of simultaneous scale formation and scale vaporization. Output includes the pertinent formation and vaporization constants and kinetic values of interest. COREST also estimates specific sample weight and specific scale weight as a function of time. Most importantly, from a corrosion standpoint, it estimates specific metal loss.

First-Principles study of interface capture of Ni during high-temperature oxidation of NiCr alloys

The formation of precipitated phases of less reactive metals within an oxide scale during alloy oxidation can disrupt its structural integrity, significantly compromising the protective function of the oxide. To better understand this phenomenon, it is crucial to investigate the atomic-level diffusion mechanisms that drive precipitate formation. In this study, we employ first-principles calculations to examine the diffusion and aggregation of Ni atoms across the NiCr/Cr 2 O 3 interface during the high-temperature oxidation of NiCr alloys. Our results reveal that, in the absence of Cr vacancies, Ni atoms predominantly remain within the NiCr substrate, with minimal migration toward the Cr 2 O 3 layer. However, when Cr vacancies are present at both the NiCr/Cr 2 O 3 interface and within the Cr 2 O 3 bulk, Ni atoms exhibit a strong propensity to migrate from the NiCr substrate into the Cr 2 O 3 bulk, where they aggregate into Ni-rich regions with a corundum structure. This study provides valuable atomic-level insights into the diffusion and aggregation of less-reactive metals at the alloy/oxide interface, enhancing our understanding of solute capture and its contribution to the degradation of oxidation resistance in alloys.

Manufacture and engine test of advanced oxide dispersion strengthened alloy turbine vanes

Oxide-Dispersion-strengthened (ODS) Ni-Cr-Al alloy systems were exploited for turbine engine vanes which would be used for the space shuttle thermal protection system. Available commercial and developmental advanced ODS alloys were evaluated, and three were selected based on established vane property goals and manufacturing criteria. The selected alloys were evaluated in an engine test. Candidate alloys were screened by strength, thermal fatigue resistance, oxidation and sulfidation resistance. The Ni-16Cr (3 to 5)Al-ThO2 system was identified as having attractive high temperature oxidation resistance. Subsequent work also indicated exceptional sulfidation resistance for these alloys.

High gas velocity oxidation and hot corrosion testing of oxide dispersion-strengthened nickel-base alloys

Several oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) nickel-base alloys were tested in high velocity gases for cyclic oxidation resistance at temperatures to 1200 C and times to 500 hours and for hot corrosion resistance at 900 C for 200 hours. Nickel-chromium-aluminum ODS alloys were found to have superior resistance to oxidation and hot corrosion when compared to bare and coated nickel-chromium ODS alloys. The best of the alloys tested had compositions of nickel - 15.5 to 16 weight percent chromium with aluminum weight percents between 4.5 and 5.0. All of the nickel-chromium-aluminum ODS materials experienced small weight losses (less than 16 mg/sq cm).
