Abstract

The transient oxidation of β-NiAl in air at 800 °C and 1100 °C has been studied using electron microscopy. The oxide scale consists predominatly of metastable Al2O3 phases. θ-Al2O3 is the major oxide phase within 10.0 hr of oxidation at 800 °C and 0.1 hr at 1100 °C. The scales form epitaxially on (001)β and (012)β specimens throughout the transient stage, whereas the degree of preferred oxide orientation decreases with oxidation time on (011)β and (111)β specimens. The orientation relationships reflect the small mismatch between parallel close-packed directions in the metal and in the cation sublattice of the oxides. The correlation of distinctive oxide surface morphologies with internal structural defects indicates the strong tendency of the Al2O3 scale to growvia short-circuit diffusion paths.
