Oxide-alloy interface of Ti6242S Ti-based alloy was investigated by STEM-EELS technique, after oxidation in both N 2-free and synthetic air atmospheres at 650°C for 1000 h. The chemical shift of Ti-L 2,3 edge and its specific fine structure along the oxide-alloy interface were used as fingerprint to distinguish the different compositions of titanium nitrides and oxynitrides. TiN, Ti 2 N and TiN x O y were identified in the sample oxidized in synthetic air at the oxide-alloy interface. Moreover, a decreasing in the oxidation state of Ti oxides was found along with Sn segregation at the oxide-alloy interface for the sample oxidized in N 2-free atmosphere.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
