Explain the proposed mechanism of rapid degradation of NbAl3 during oxidation at intermediate temperatures (550-850°C) and describe the factors affecting scale adhesion. | The rapid degradation of NbAl3 at intermediate temperatures (550-850°C) is proposed to result from the inward diffusion of oxygen through an outer layer of Nb2O5, followed by continued inward diffusion of oxygen along aluminum-depleted intermetallic grain boundaries. This leads to the precipitation of internal alumina ... | |
