Abstract
The influence of various cerium (Ce) additions and starting temperature on the resistance to oxidation of AM50 alloy prepared by rapid solidification (RS, RS-AM50 alloy) has been investigated. The Ce addition has two opposite effects on the oxide scale. To the RS-alloy, the beneficial effect outweighs the detrimental one. However, when the alloy was prepared by slow solidification at the normal cooling rate (SS, SS-AM50 alloy), the detrimental effect was dominant. The improvement of oxide scale is closely related to the adherence of metal/oxide and tightness of oxide scale of the alloy. In addition, the reaction rate at the surface increased with starting temperature, which finally results in the formation of a protective oxide scale.
