Unveiling the role of grain/phase boundaries on the oxidation behavior of γ-TiAl alloy: An experiment and DFT study
The oxidation resistance of TiAl alloys is critically influenced by their microstructure, yet the roles of grain boundaries (GBs) and phase boundaries (PBs) remain poorly understood and debated. To address this knowledge gap, this work systematically investigated the oxidation behaviors across four characteristic TiAl microstructures, including fully lamellar (FL), near-lamellar (NL), duplex (DP), and near-γ (NG) at 800–1000 °C through integrated experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Experimental results demonstrate that reducing the density of GBs and PBs significantly improves oxidation resistance at 1000 °C, with the performance ranking as NG > DP > FL > NL. DFT calculations elucidate the underlying mechanisms, demonstrating preferential oxygen adsorption at both GBs and PBs due to localized charge redistribution. Notably, 66.7 % of PBs adsorption sites are low-energy sites (Eads < −5.5 eV), compared to only 31.0 % for GBs. These insights resolve long-standing debates on boundary-dominated oxidation mechanisms and provide a theoretical basis for microstructure design in high-performance TiAl alloys.
