Popis: Oxidation behaviour of the near α-titanium alloy IMI 834 was investigated over a range of te m- peratures, from 600-800°C, in air. Specimens were solution-treated in the α + β and β β phase fields for 1 h and 1/2 h, respectively and cooled in air to room temperature. The solution treated samples were subjected to st a- bilization treatment at 700°C for 2 h, followed by cooling in air. Oxidation behaviour of these samples was studied from 600-800°C in air, for 50 h. The morphology of the scales formed was examined by SEM and the phases present in the scales were characterized by X -ray diffraction. While there was little oxidation at 600°C, the rate of oxidation increased at higher temperatures. In general, the rate of oxidation was found to be more in the α + β treated condition than that in the β treated one. The results are discussed in terms of the chara c- teristics of the oxide film formed under different conditions.
