Abstract Scope |
Modeling oxidation of HEAs is a complex problem due to the dynamical nature of the oxidation process. Conventional techniques based on the first principle and thermodynamic analysis focuses on some of the particular aspects of the process but fail to model the overall phenomenon. We developed a stochastic cellular automata approach to model oxidation of NiAl and NiAl+Hf at high temperatures. The probability of reaction and diffusion is obtained from the relative reaction and diffusion rate of each component. We successfully analyzed oxide scale morphology, thickness, specific mass gain, and stress-strain field during the temporal evolution of the oxide scale. The majority of the oxide formed during oxidation of NiAl is composed of Alumina while the addition of “reactive element” Hf in the grain boundary slows the oxidation kinetics drastically. We have also prepared a simplified model to calculate stress-strain during transient oxidation based on Pilling-Bedworth ratios of the oxides. |
