Abstract
High temperature corrosion behavior of Nb containing a TiAl melt is studied connecting with grain boundary wetting (GBW). Three intermetallic compounds (IMC) layers are formed and corroded step by step via the TiAl melt. The interfacial morphology and wetting angle evolution are investigated theoretically and experimentally. The morphology of the grooves controlled by interfacial tension, while nonzero wetting angles θd controlled by surface diffusion are established at the roots. By quantitative assessment, when θd is more than 140°, the grooves terminating on a thin sheet, which is responsible for the effective inhibition of further wetting and corrosion.
