Abstract

Alloys based on aluminium and titanium are possible materials for several high temperature applications. The use of TiAl would increase the efficiency of e.g. aero turbines, automotive engines and others due to their properties, among others low specific weight and good high temperature strength. The oxidation resistance is low at temperatures above approximately 800°C so that no long term use of TiAl-components is possible without improvement of the oxidation behaviour. Small amounts of halogens in the surface zone of TiAl-samples lead to a dramatic improvement of the oxidation resistance at temperatures up to 1100°C for more than 8000 hours in air. In this paper results of the work on the halogen effect over the last years are presented. The results of thermogravimetric measurements, thermocyclic oxidation tests of small coupons and thermodynamic calculations for different atmospheres (e.g. air, H2O, SO2) are shown and the halogen effect mechanism is discussed. The postulated mechanism is in good agreement with the results of the oxidation tests. The limits of the halogen effect will also be mentioned. Predictions for the halogenation of TiAl-components can be given so that the processing can be planned in advance.
