“…Although the reaction is significantly less severe compared to that of tool steels, bare Co-29Cr-6Mo (Co-Cr-Mo) alloy is still gradually corroded under molten Al, leading to the local failure of the alloy due to the formation of intermetallic compounds between the matrix and molten Al [9][10][11][12][13]. In light of this, various methods-including nitriding [14], oxidation treatment [10], and alloying Si [9,15], Al, Ti, and Zr [16]-have been adopted to improve the corrosion resistance of Co-Cr-Mo alloy to molten Al. Among these methods, oxidation treatment is the most economical, simple, and effective.…”
