Abstract:The effect of niobium and water on the high-temperature oxidation behaviour of pure titanium and Ti4Nb (at.%) was studied. An oxidation apparatus was designed that allowed not only the performance of twostage oxidation experiments using synthetic air isotopically enriched in 18 O 2 and 15 N 2 but also the control of humidity using either H 2 16 O or H 2 18 O. Oxidation experiments were performed in dry and humid atmospheres at 800°C. The oxide scales formed were analysed by secondary neutral mass spectrometry.… Show more
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.
