Abstract
This study investigated the high-temperature oxidation kinetics of NiTi shape memory alloys containing 9, 10.5, and 12 at% Nb through isothermal oxidation at 800, 900 and 1000 °C in air for up to 100 h. The oxide scales were characterized by XRD, SEM/EDS and Raman Spectroscopy. Nb greatly improved oxidation resistance across all tested concentrations and temperatures. At 800 °C, all the ternary alloys showed similar mass gain during the exposure time. At 900 °C, the oxidation rate decreased with increasing Nb content up to 10.5 at% but increased again at 12 at%. At 1000 °C, all the alloys suffered scale growth and spallation. NiTi alloy oxide scale was composed of TiO2 and NiTiO3, while the NiTiNb alloys, in addition to these phases, exhibited TiNb2O7 and Ti2O3. Nb-enrichment of TiO2 and the formation of Ti2O3 are likely responsible for the increased oxidation resistance of the ternary alloys.
