Abstract
The titanium-based alloys with 2–3 at.% of chromium (TiCr) and molybdenum (TiMo) were produced on the top of titanium samples by means of the high-intense pulsed electron beam impact on the titanium with preliminary deposited Cr and Mo coatings. The TiCr and TiMo alloys were subjected to oxidation in open air atmosphere at temperature 600 °C. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-disperse X-ray microanalysis (EDX) were used for structure and elemental composition determination in the samples. The analysis of oxygen depth profiles showed the increase in oxygen penetration depth in the case of TiCr alloy in comparable to pure titanium. The oxygen concentration corresponding to stoichiometry of the oxide phase TiO2 was found on the depth equaled to the thickness of the TiCr alloy that shows the enhancement of the diffusion of oxygen in the modified layer. The diffusion of oxygen at the temperature of 600 °C is enhanced by decomposition of the solid solutions based on bcc β-Ti phase with free chromium and molybdenum atoms releasing. The free molybdenum atoms take part in the stabilization of TiO2 anatase phase while the free chromium atoms form intermetallic compound TiCr2 preventing the sample from oxidation.
