Abstract
Isothermal oxidation resistance of Fe40 (at.%) Al-based atomized and deposited intermetallic alloys has been evaluated. The alloys included Fe40Al, Fe40Al + 0.1B, and Fe40Al + 0.1B + 10Al2O3 at 800, 900, 1000, and 1100 °C. The tests lasted approximately 100 h, although in most cases there was scale spalling. At 800 and 900 °C, the Fe40Al + 0.1B alloy had the lowest weight gain, whereas the Fe40Al alloy had the highest weight gain at 800 °C (0.10 mg/cm2) and the Fe40Al + 0.1B + 10Al2O3 alloy was the least oxidation resistant at 900 °C with 0.20 mg/cm2. At 1000 °C, the Fe40Al + 0.1B alloy showed the highest weight gain with 0.12 mg/cm2 and the Fe40Al alloy the lowest. At 1100 °C, again, as at 900 °C, the Fe40Al alloy was the least resistant, whereas the Fe40Al + 0.1B alloy performed the best, but the three alloys exhibited a paralinear bahavior on the weight-gain curves, indicating the spalling, breaking down, and rehealing of the oxides. This spalling was related to voids formed at the metal-oxide interface.
