Abstract
In the present study an oxidation behavior of commercially available Ni-base superalloy IN 713C with different surface finishing, namely polished up to 1 μm diamond paste (resulting in Ra = 0.023) and ground by SiC paper with 80 grit (Ra = 1.23), were investigated at 950°C in air. It was found that ground sample developed very thin, protective α-Al2O3 scale. Moreover, locally formation of θ-Al2O3 in the forms of spikes was observed. For the sample with polished surface formation of outer chromia scale accompanied with internal oxidation of aluminum was observed. Moreover, for specimen which does not form continuous alumina scale or sub-scale, the GD-OES depth profiles showed an enrichment of boron at the oxide scale/alloy interface. It was proposed that the formation of protective alumina scale on ground samples is caused by introducing the defects into the near-surface region of the material, which are an easy diffusion paths for the elements forming a protective oxide scales.
