Abstract
The reversible high-temperature γ′ to β phase transformation may be critical to explaining the unusual high-temperature oxidation behavior of (Ni,Pt) Al alloys and coatings. During high-temperature, high-frequency (1 h) cyclic oxidation in dry, flowing O2, unprecedented macroscopic deformation was observed in two-phase (γ′+β) cast specimens of Hf-doped Ni-Pt-Al at 1,150°C and Hf-doped Ni-Pt-Al at 1,100° and 1,150°C. Outside of this two-phase field or when the cycle frequency was decreased to 100 h, no deformation was observed. Using high-temperature x-ray diffraction in an inert environment, the β-to-γ′ phase ratio was observed to increase above 1,000°C, causing a 2.5% volume change. The addition of platinum appeared to lower the transformation temperature consistent with the deformation observed in cast alloys and rumpling of simple and platinum-modified aluminide coatings.
