Effects of Ru on the corrosion resistance of Ni‐base superalloys are still controversial. In the paper, the influence of Ru on the hot corrosion behaviour of Ni‐based superalloys containing a higher level of Cr was investigated. Results show that corrosion resistance of the superalloy with high Cr content is enhanced with the increase of Ru. The reason for this is that the addition of Ru increases the segregation degree of Cr and Mo in the interdendritic region and promotes the formation of a continuous Al2O3 and Cr2O3 layer adjacent to the superalloy.
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.
