Abstract
The service lives of nickel superalloys are often limited by environmental degradation. The present study compares oxidation, sulfidation and hot corrosion at 750 °C of three variants of a polycrystalline superalloy: a baseline alloy, a variant containing 1 wt% Mn and one containing 0.5 wt% Si. Mn reduced the oxidation rate without changing the scale morphology. The MnCr2O4 scale formed proved more protective against sulfidation and hot corrosion, but internal sulfides extended the damage depth. Si modified the oxide morphology to a continuous Cr2O3-Al2O3 dual layer. This provided improved protection, reducing the sulfidation depth by 2/3 and the hot corrosion depth by ½.
