DZ68 alloy is a new Ni-base directionally solidified superalloy for the blade of advanced turbine engine with high ratio of thrust-mass.In order to investigate the influence of pre-oxidation on the hot corrosion resistance of DZ68 alloy,pre-oxidation treatment was conducted at 950℃ in air for 20 h.A mixture of 75% Na2SO4 +25% NaCl (in mass fraction) was used for hot corrosion study at 900℃.The microstructure of specimens was investigated by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with an energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).The compositions of the corroded specimens were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD).After preoxidation at 950℃ in air for 20 h,a protective scale consisting of Cr2O3,Al2O3,NiO,NiCr2O4,and Ni2Ti4O formed on the DZ68 superalloy surface.The pre-oxidation treatment improved the initial incubation stage of the alloy in the mixture of 75% Na2SO4 +25% NaCl melts at 900℃.The oxide layer degraded gradually with increasing the time of hot corrosion.Once the oxide layer was damaged,the corrosion rate would increase rapidly,accompanied by obvious spallation of the corrosion products.At 900℃,the pre-oxidation treatment could not inhibit the accelerated hot corrosion of DZ68 in the mixture of 75% Na2SO4 +25% NaCl melts,with a high corrosion rate.
