Abstract
ABSTRACTThe oxidation behavior of a number of ordered high melting point intermetallic materials has been studied in flowing air in the temperature range 1000 to 1500°C. The alloys were selected for acceptable toughness and ductility at temperatures above 1000°C. Included were ruthenium aluminides, chromium silicide and compounds of iridium and ruthenium with elements such as titanium, tantalum, nickel, iron, cobalt, silicon, vanadium and rhenium. In general, alloys containing the metals iron, cobalt and nickel, and also titanium and tantalum, oxidized rapidly at 1000°C and above. Oxidation-resistant materials were those capable of forming scales of chromia/silica or alumina. Intermetallic compounds of chromium and ruthenium formed volatile oxides above 1200°C, but binary compounds of these elements with silicon and aluminum were highly oxidation resistant at lower temperatures.
