Abstract:Thermogravimetry tests were performed for 70 h at 1250°C in the air for six TaC-strengthened alloys with different values of the Ni/Co ratio. The oxidation and chromia volatilization rates were specified, and the formed oxides were characterized. Metallographic observations show that the alloys rich in Ni (from ≈70 to ≈25 wt.% Ni) stayed chromia-forming until the end of the 70 h. In contrast, catastrophic oxidation locally started in the case of the Co-based alloys, which are too poor in Ni. The numerical expl… Show more
