Abstract
AbstractThe low ambient tensile ductility and inadequate high temperature strength and creep resistance have limited the applications of intermetallic compound NiAl as a structure material at high temperatures. A small addition of Ag could increase the strength of NiAl. In this study, hot corrosion behavior of NiAl and NiAl-Ag containing 1 and 5%Ag (in weight percent), respectively, in molten (Na,K)2SO4 at 1173 K has been examined by thermogravimetry and physical analysis techniques. The experimental results indicated that the corrosion rates of NiAl and NiAl-Ag tended to increase with exposure time, accompanied with the formation of nodules. Fast localized corrosion is the typical feature of the corrosion of both NiAl and NiAl-Ag. The addition of Ag to NiAl accelerated its corrosion, with a higher corrosion rate observed for the 5%Ag addition. The two-phase microstructure of NiAl-Ag alloys accelerated the formation of nodules in the regions close to Ag phases.
