Abstract
The cyclic oxidation behavior of Ni-Cr-W-Mo base alloys with various La, C and B contents is investigated at 1150 °C in ambient air with 15 min of high-temperature exposure and 5 min of air cooling. Oxidation resistance is evaluated by the weight change during cyclic oxidation. The cross-section of the oxide scale is observed by scanning electron microscopy after the cyclic oxidation test. The oxide scale mainly consists with spinels and a chromia layer. NiWO4 oxide particles and NiO are also observed in some areas. The addition of La improves the cyclic oxidation resistance significantly. However, the addition of 0.03 wt% B reduces the beneficial effect of La. The additions of B and C increase the spallation at the initial stage such that severe weight loss is observed. However, the spallation is reduced at the later stage. The addition of a proper amounts of B and C can be beneficial to improve the cyclic oxidation resistance of Ni-Cr-W-Mo alloys.
