Study of heat-resistant nickel alloy with γ-phase structure scaling resistance

Features of high-temperature oxidation of N70VTYu-ID alloy with γ‑solid solution structure are studied. It is shown that characteristics describing this process stabilize with increasing oxidation time. The calculated oxidation activation energy is ~220,000 ± 5000 J/mol, which is comparable to the nickel self-diffusion activation energy. Influence of preliminary short-term high-temperature oxidation on alloy scale resistance is investigated. It is shown that this combined heat treatment can briefly increase N70VTYu-ID alloy scale resistance.
