Surface blackening phenomenon and formation mechanism in high-temperature annealed nickel-based superalloys by Yan Yang, Zhicheng Cheng, Wenzhu Sun, Wei Yu, Zhisong Cheng

“…Residual water vapor in the protective hydrogen gas and rolling-oil remnants generated C, CO _2 , CO, and H _2 O, which then reacted with the alloy during high-temperature annealing to form a blackened layer. The selective oxidation of Cr, Nb, and Ti, along with the inward diffusion of carbon, leads to the compositional differences observed in the blackened layer. …”
