Abstract
Alloys of Ti−(47,51)Al, Ti47Al−4Cr, Ti48Al−2Cr2Nb, Ti47Al−1Mn, Ti39.4Al−10V, Ti48.4Al−1.9W, and Ti43Al−2W0.1Si were oxidized at temperatures between 800 and 1000 °C in air to determine the effect of each alloying element on oxidation behavior. Among the alloys tested, the Ti48.4Al-1.9W alloy displayed the best oxidation resistance, due to the beneficial effects of W, whereas the Ti39.4Al-10V alloy displayed the worst oxidation resistance, due to the formation of volatile V-oxides. Cr was harmful while Nb was beneficial. The oxidation rate of each alloy was not strictly proportional to temperature, because each alloying element had different temperature sensitivity with respect to oxidation rate.
