Abstract

Multiple oxides were observed during the transient oxidation stage of the polycrystalline Ni-based superalloy, RR1000, before a protective Cr2O3 scale formed. Thermogravimetric analysis, synchrotron grazing incidence X-ray diffraction, and electron microscopy were performed on samples subjected to isothermal exposures at 800 °C for up to 100 hours. Transient effects governed the early stages up to 40 hours. NiO, spinels (NiCr2O4, (Ni,Co)(Cr,Co)2O4), Cr2O3/(Cr0.88Ti0.12)2O3, NiTiO3, and CrTaO4 formed during the initial stage with pseudo-linear kinetics. At the onset of parabolic kinetics, extensive Cr2O3 and TiO2 growth dominated scale formation with the former emerging as the major passivating oxide.
