Popis: Thermal gravimetry and differential thermal analysis are employed to study the oxidation resistance of AlN–TiCrB2 materials in air up to 1600°C. The kinetic curves for the materials are parabolic, indicating that oxidation leads to the formation of dense oxide layers preventing oxygen diffusion deep into the samples. With increasing TiCrB2 content of the composite, its oxidation resistance decreases since B2O3 appears in and evaporates from the oxide film, resulting in its partial failure. The oxidation rate constants and activation energies are calculated for different temperature ranges with the Arrhenius equation based on collisions of oxygen molecules on the samples. The data obtained indicate that the oxidation mechanism is dependent on the material composition and temperature.
