Abstract

The effects of Be additions on the oxidation behavior of β-NiAl in moist air at 1000°C and borderline alumina-forming y (TiAI) + Laves Ti-Al-Cr based alloys at 800°C and 1000°C in dry and moist air were investigated. The addition of Be to β-NiAl suppressed the formation of transient alumina, and resulted in the formation of a protective BeAl2O4 spinel phase. In dry air, the addition of Be to the Ti-AI-Cr alloys also resulted in the formation of a protective BeAl2O4 spinel phase. In moist air, only Ti-AlCr- Be alloys with a high Cr content (10 to 15 a/o) formed the protective BeAl24scale.
