Abstract
The oxidation behavior of FGH720Li(P/M Udimet720Li) superalloy was investigated under static atmosphere in temperature ranging from 600°C to 730°C. The oxidation kinetics, composition and morphology of the oxidation layers were characterized by means of isothermal oxidation tests, X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS). The results showed that the oxidation kinetics curves of FGH720Li superalloy followed the parabolic law. The results of cross-sectional morphology and elemental distribution indicated that the oxidation layer could be divided into three parts:porous Cr2O3 outer layer, dense Cr2O3 medium layer and oxidation affected zone with nail-like Al2O3 inner layer. The oxidation process was primarily controlled by the diffusion of chromium and oxygen through the oxide scale.
