Abstract
High melting Mo-Si-B based alloys exhibit good mechanical properties and oxidation resistance at very high temperatures. The alloy composition Mo-9Si-8B (at.%) shows excellent oxidation behavior between 900°C–1,300°C as a consequence of protective silica scale formation. Below 900°C, a protective oxide layer does not form as a consequence of simultaneous and competitive Mo- and Si-oxide formation. Macro- and microalloying strategies as well as pre-treatment prior to oxidation in air were examined in order to determine their impact on the oxidation performance. Alloying with Cr is a suitable means for protective Cr-oxide scale formation at intermediate temperatures; adding small amounts of reactive elements was found to have a strong impact on the silica scale forming ability. Furthermore, the oxidation behavior can be controlled and enhanced by selective oxidation in oxygen-deficient atmospheres prior to exposure to air.
