Abstract

The effect of Ti0.1 and Ti0.1Si0.1 addition on the high temperature isothermal oxidation behavior of dense FeCoCrNiAl and FeCoCrNi2Al high entropy alloy (HEA) consolidated by vacuum hot pressing were investigated by X-ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy and Raman Spectroscopy. Mechanical properties such as hardness, Young’s modulus, and thermal properties such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) were also investigated. The weight gain recorded after isothermal oxidation for 5,25,50 and 100 h at 1050 °C was found to be parabolic in nature. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), as well as Raman spectroscopy analysis of HEA’s oxidized at 1050 °C for 100 h, shows the formation of the Al2O3 phase. A homogeneous thin oxide scale without any discontinuity was observed throughout the cross-section. Ti and Si addition in 0.1 at. % improves mechanical properties, oxidation resistance, and reduces waviness of the oxide scale.
