The low ambient tensile ductility and inadequate high temperature strength and creep resistance have limited the applications of intermetallic compound NiAl as a structure material at high temperatures. A small addition of Ag could increase the strength of NiAl. In this study, hot corrosion behavior of NiAl and NiAl-Ag containing 1 and 5%Ag (in weight percent), respectively, in molten (Na,K) 2 SO 4 at 1173 K has been examined by thermogravimetry and physical analysis techniques. The experimental results indicated that the corrosion rates of NiAl and NiAl-Ag tended to increase with exposure time, accompanied with the formation of nodules. Fast localized corrosion is the typical feature of the corrosion of both NiAl and NiAl-Ag. The addition of Ag to NiAl accelerated its corrosion, with a higher corrosion rate observed for the 5%Ag addition. The two-phase microstructure of NiAl-Ag alloys accelerated the formation of nodules in the regions close to Ag phases.
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.
