Abstract

Effect of surface treatment on the formation of oxygen enriched brittle layer in a Ti3Al-Nb alloy was investigated. The results show that a mixed Ti2N and TiN layer was formed at the surface by the titanium nitride vapor deposit treatment, and this titanium nitride layer makes it possible to suppress the formation of the oxygen enriched brittle layer during thermal exposure. An Al2O3 film was formed at the surface of the alloy, when the surface treatment was conducted under a low partial pressure oxygen atmosphere. However, such surface treatment is not able to depress the formation of the oxygen enriched brittle layer during thermal exposure, due to the higher affinity of α2 phase for oxygen as well as the higher diffusivity of titanium in Al2O3.
