| Abstract Scope |
Fluorine usually deteriorates the oxidation behavior of metallic materials leading to accelerated attack. This is caused by the formation of gaseous compounds which evaporate leading to metal loss. Under distinct conditions i.e., defined fluorine partial pressure at the surface of the component, fluorine can protect metallic components. For example, intermetallic TiAl alloys which usually form a fast-growing non-protective mixed oxide scale reveal protective alumina formation after optimized fluorine treatment. This so-called fluorine effect is based on the exclusive intermediate formation of aluminum fluorides which finally are oxidized to alumina during their outward diffusion through the natural grown oxide scale. In this paper results of high temperature exposure tests of different materials, Ti- and Ni-based, without and with fluorine treatment will be presented and discussed. Several fluorination methods can be applied. This will be explained in the view of the fluorine effect mechanism. |
