Abstract
This work focuses on oxidation behavior of Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion (EB-PBF) processed Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb at elevated temperatures. Two different sample conditions were considered: As-deposited (AD) and post-processed by hot isostatic pressing (HIPed). The oxidation studies were carried out at 750°C, 850°C, and 950°C for 30, 60, and 100 hours. The oxidized samples were analyzed for oxide layer growth and kinetics using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), Raman Spectroscopy, and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) techniques. Results indicate that oxide layers are composed of alternative bands of TiO2 and Al2O3. These oxide layers spalled at 850°C and 950°C after an exposure of 100 h. The HIPed samples exhibited superior oxidation resistance when compared to AD samples, with an oxidation rate constant of 0.134 mg2cm4h-1 at 950°C (100 h). The presence of homogenized microstructure with large nano-scale lamellar colonies aided in uniform oxide layer growth. EB-PBF samples exhibit fine fully lamellar microstructure due to the rapid heating and cooling cycles. Hence EB-PBF (AD and HIPed) samples exhibited better oxidation resistance when compared to conventionally processed Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb.
