EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF FACTORS CONTROLLING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF HIGH- TEMPERATURE PROTECTIVE COATINGS FOR TUNGSTEN

Abstract

Oxidation at elevated temperatures of Zr-Th, Zr-Y, Hf-Y, Hf-W, Hf-W- Re, Al-Cr-Sn, and Al-LaSn alloys, as well as ZrN, HfN and ZrN-ThN combinations was studied in order to clarify specific aspects of the problem of protecting W against oxidation at high temperatures. Experimental results showed that there was much less tendency for ZrO2, ThO2 and HfO2 scales to crack during growth at high than at low temperatures. Multiphased scales were more resistanct to spalling than single-phased scales, and protective oxides were grown many alloys. However, even in sound and coherent scales composed of these oxides, O diffused so rapidly that it is doubtful that they could form the basis of a protective system at 2000 C.
