Abstract
During oxidation at 1000 °C in dry, flowing O2, β-NiAl first forms an oxide scale of primarily θ-Al2O3. After 1-4 hr of continued exposure this metastable oxide transforms into the stable α-Al2O3 structure. An implant of 2×1016 Y/cm2 at 70 kV was found to stabilize the first-forming θ-Al2O3 scale up to 100 hr at 1000 °C. β-NiAl was also implanted with Al and Cr to study the effect of the implantation damage and of another more noble element on the oxidation behavior. At 1200 °C, only a short term effect of the Y-implant was observed.
