Abstract

Oxidation behavior of binary Ti-48 Al and ternary alloys with 1.5 at.% Cr, 1.4 at.%Mn, 0.2 at.% W, 2.2 at% V, 20 vol.% TiNb particles were examined in an air atmosphere at 704°C, 815°C and 982°C. Results indicate that the addition of Cr is detrimental at all temperatures. The Cr and V containing alloys exhibited a linear oxidation behavior at 815°C while the Mn containing alloy showed a linear behavior at 982°C. At 982 °C the alloys with W and V exhibit the best oxidation behavior. The mechanism of oxidation has been explained with the help of a simple vacancy model for oxygen diffusion.
