The addition of Nb significantly improves the oxidation resistance of Ti-based alloys without significantly affecting their tensile properties. This enhancement is mainly attributed to the substitution of Ti4+ by Nb5+ in TiO2 and the promotion of a Sn-rich layer formation.
Previous research has inadequately elucidated the influence of Nb addition on the tensile properties and oxidation resistance of Ti-based alloys. Herein, the tensile properties and oxidation resistance of Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si-1.0B-xNb (x = 0, 0.2, and 1.0) alloys were investigated. The oxidation resistance was significantly improved by Nb addition without significantly influencing the tensile properties. The substitution of Ti4+ by Nb5+ in TiO2 and promoted formation of a Sn-rich layer between the oxidation layer and substrate caused an increase in the oxidation resistance, thus highlighting the effectiveness of Nb addition in enhancing the oxidation resistance.
