The current development of new generation gamma titanium aluminides is expected to result in alloy chemistries and microstructures capable of operating at temperatures in excess of 850 C. Under these conditions, environmental and thermal protection becomes a concern since oxidation might eventually

Abstract
The influence of water vapour on the oxidation of Ti‐50 at.% Al was studied at 900°C. Thick, well‐adherent oxide scales were formed consisting of an outer TiO~2~ layer and an inner heterogeneous mixture of TiO~2~ and Al~2~O~3~. The interface between these layers is marked by large pores and Al~2~O~3~ particles embedded in TiO~2~. No compact Al~2~O~3~ barrier layer was observed. The oxidation leads to formation of a two phase, oxygen enriched subsurface zone, which is Al‐depleted by inner oxidation of Al to Al~2~O~3~.
The oxidation kinetics were followed by continuous thermogravimetry. Exposure in moist oxygen leads to an accelerated attack compared with oxidation in dry oxygen. In moist oxygen the rate is linear after a short transition period. The oxidation rate is influenced by water partial pressure and oxygen partial pressure.
