Abstract

A high-throughput, non-destructive photostimulated luminescence spectroscopy (PSLS) technique was used to analyze fifty oxidized Co-based γ/γ′ alloy samples for the presence of α-Al2O3. Alloys were produced by combinatorial ion-plasma deposition, and oxidation was performed at 1100 °C for 1 h in air. PSLS measurements are compared with microscopy of oxides in cross-section to relate the presence of the luminescence signal of α-Al2O3 with the thickness of the oxide scale. Analysis of the current dataset validates the use of PSLS as a rapid screening technique of oxidation behavior for the present materials system.

Notes

  1. The mechanisms of formation of these microstructures are fairly complex in the current 6-component alloy system. A detailed discussion will be presented in a separate publication on the results of the combinatorial oxidation studies. However, similar observations have been reported in Ni–Cr alloys [29] and Ni–Al alloys [30]. Briefly, it is posited that these morphologies arise as the system transitions from internal oxidation kinetics to external scale-forming behavior, followed by the lateral undercutting-growth of Al2O3 scale.
