We have examined the distribution of active minor elements in the oxide scales developed by selected Ni-base alloys with commercial grades. Emphasis is placed upon Mn, La and Si in a chromia-forming alloy and Y in an alumina-forming alloy. Initially, La and Y have been segregated at free surfaces and then become constituents of the oxides in contact with the substrates. A continuous layer of MnCr2O4 is formed above La-and Si-modified inner chromia layer. Silicon has been homogenously distributed throughout the grain structure, however, some La is present as LaCr2O3 particles and most of the remainder has been segregated at grain boundaries. The results indicate that the collective effect of Mn, Si and La is to extend protection by chromia to temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees C. Yttrium in the alumina-forming alloy is found to predominantly segregate at grain boundaries of nanostructured oxide with improved mechanical strength.
