Abstract

Structure, phase composition and air oxidation behavior in the temperature range 800 to 1400°C of a Nb-Ti-Al-based intermetallic alloy with the chemical composition (wt %): Nb-47.0; Ti-23.9; Al-21.0, V-4.4, and Cr-4.1 have been studied. The alloy structure is two-phase -σ (Nb2Al type) and γ (TiAl type). Preliminary air oxidation at 1400°C decreases the oxidation rate at 1150°C by a factor 2 to 3. It is connected with the formation of a protective scale (rutile and corundum with chromium and vanadium additions), refining of the alloy structure, and the formation of an internally oxidized underscale.
