Abstract
The reactive-element (RE) effect in chromia-forming-alloys on the adherence properties of the oxide scale is well known. A comparative study of chromia scale in four Co-Cr-Mo alloys, an undoped and three doped with 0.5. wt% Al/Ti/Zr, is conducted under FESEM/EPMA, LSM, and XPS. After air oxidation at 700. °C for 24. h, all doped alloys show a thinner, smoother oxide scale with enhanced adherence. The cross-sectional compositional maps show significant increase in the concentration of Ti in the oxide scale, and Al near the oxide/alloy interface. The reactive elements inhibited the diffusion of Cr and O ions, formed oxide preferentially, and eliminated the void formation at the oxide/alloy interface.
