Since turbine discs operate air at 700 to 973 K, these alloys have receivedconsiderable attention with respect their sensitivity environmentally growth(EECG). Previous studies shown that oxygen increased the rates niobiumcontaining (such as Inconel 718, Rene-95 and3750) temperatures (.800K) by up 4.5orders magnitude over those observed an inert environment (1–7). Several mechanisms beensuggested this enhancement which include: (a) oxidation metallic carbides orcarbon grain boundaries pressures CO
