The development of modern power generation systems with higher thermal efficiency requires the use of constructional materials of higher strength and improved resistance to the aggressive service atmospheres. In this paper the following examples are discussed: 1) The oxidation behavior of 9% Cr steels in simulated combustion gases: The effects of O2 and H2O content on the oxidation behavior of 9% Cr steels in the temperature range 600–800°C showed that in dry oxygen a protective scale was formed with an oxidation rate controlled by diffusion. In contrast, that in the presence of water vapor, after an incubation period, the scale became non-protective as a result of a change in the oxidation mechanism. 2) The development of NiCrAlY alloys for corrosion resistant coatings and thermal barrier coatings of gas turbine components: The increase of component surface temperature in modern gas turbines leads to an enhanced oxidation attack of the blade coating. Considerable efforts have been made in the improvement of the temperature properties of MCrAlY coatings by the additions of minor elements like yttrium, silicon and titanium. The experimental results show the positive, but different influence of the oxidation behavior of the MCrAlY coatings by the addition of these minor elements. 3) The development of light-weight intermetallics of TiAl-basis: TiAl-based intermetallics are promising materials for future turbine components because of the combination of high temperature strength and low density. These alloys, however, possess poor oxidation resistance at temperatures above 700°C. The experimental results showed that the oxidation behavior of TiAl-based intermetallics can be strongly improved by minor additions of 1–2 at.-% silver. 4) The oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) alloys provide excellent creep resistance up to much higher temperatures than can be achieved with conventional wrought or cast alloys in combination with suitable high temperature oxidation/corrosion resistance. The growth mechanisms of protective chromia and alumina scales were examined by a two-stage oxidation method with 18O tracer. The distribution of the oxygen isotopes in the oxide scale was determined by SIMS and SNMS. The results show the positive influence of a Y2O3 dispersion on the oxidation resistance of the ODS alloys and its effect on growth mechanisms.
