Study on abnormal hot corrosion behavior of nickel-based single-crystal superalloy at 900 °C after drilling

Abstract

AbstractThe hot corrosion behavior of nickel-based single-crystal superalloy after drilling is investigated at 900 °C. The characteristics of hot corrosion after drilling which are different from normal hot corrosion are reflected in the formation of a more stable oxide layer and less severe spallation. The change of microstructure around the hole is the main reason for the formation of a stable oxide layer during hot corrosion by changing the diffusion process of alloying elements. Subsequently, the formation of a stable oxide layer can reduce the effect of spalling by optimizing surface stress.
