Abstract:
By means of TGA, SEM (EDX) and XRD, the high temperature corrosion behavior of Ni-Cr-Co base superalloy was studied at 750 ℃ and 775 ℃ in air with water vapor. The results indicate that the kinetic curve of the alloy oxidized at 750 ℃ for 2480 h in air with 10% water vapor obeys a parabolic law at the initial oxidation stage and then follows a linear law. The oxide scale mainly consists of Cr
2O
3 and the internal oxides, Al
2O
3 and TiO
2, also precipitate in matrix. The protective oxide scale of the alloy oxidized at 775 ℃ for 432 h in air with 5% water vapor is composed of Cr
2O
3, TiO
2 and CoCr
2O
4 and the internal oxides are Al
2O
3 and TiO
2. The corrosion speed is quickened because of the presence of water vapor. The corrosion procedure is decided by the transmission of the elements through the oxide scale.
