This paper investigates the oxidation behavior of titanium-aluminum and titanium-aluminum-niobium systems using the temperature-programmed oxidation and reduction method, revealing interesting phenomena in the initial stages of oxidation. The results provide important insights into the oxidation mechanism.
The oxidation of titanium and titanium aluminides has attracted the attention of scientists for many years because of their high-temperature application. The most popular method to investigate oxidation behavior is the measurement of alloy mass changes during exposure to elevated-temperature under isothermal or thermal cycling conditions. However, the thermogravimetric method is not enough to establish an oxidation mechanism. In this paper, the temperature-programmed oxidation (TPOx) and reduction (TPR) were applied for the Ti-Al and Ti-Al-Nb systems, which was a new experimental concept which revealed interesting phenomena. Although oxidation of titanium alloys is well-described in the literature, not many papers present at the same time reduction of oxidized alloys. The results presented in the paper concentrated on the first stages of oxidation, which are scarcely described in the literature, but are important to understand the oxidation mechanism. Comparison between powder and bulk samples with similar compositions revealed essential differences in the oxidation mechanism.
