Abstract

The oxidation behaviour of four NiCoCrAlx medium-entropy alloys (x = 0, 0.1, 0.3, or 0.5 mol.) was investigated in dry air at 600–900 °C. The oxidation kinetics of all the alloys followed the parabolic rate law at T> 700 °C, and the oxidation rates increased with an increase in temperature and a decrease in Al content. Discontinuous oxide granules were formed on all the alloys at 600 °C, while complex scales were detected, strongly depending on the Al content and temperature. Internal attack of AlN precipitates was also observed for Al-containing alloys at T> 700 °C.
