Influence of the mode of introduction of a reactive element on the high temperature oxidation behavior of an alumina-forming alloy. Part I: Isotherma…

2004

Several routes of yttrium introduction were applied to test the high temperature oxidation performance of a FeCrAl alloy. Isothermal oxidation tests were described in a previous paper (Part I of this paper in this journal, 2004, 55, 352). Cyclic oxidation tests were performed in air under atmospheric pressure on blank specimens, Y 2 O 3 sol-gel coated-, Y 2 O 3 metal-organic chemical vapor deposited (MOCVD)-, yttrium ion implanted-alloys, as well as on a steel containing 0.1 wt.% of yttrium as an alloying element. For the 20 hours cycles, all the samples, except FeCrAl-0.1Y, exhibit weight losses after a few cycles, indicating drastic spallation of the oxide scales. The MOCVD coated specime…

Oxidation mechanism of the Inconel 601 alloy at high temperatures

2010

The Inconel 601 alloy oxidation was performed in air, in the temperature range 1000-1150 °C, during 90 h. Kinetic results show that the parabolic behavior is always followed in this temperature range. The Arrhenius plot of the kp values shows two different activation energies. Between 1000 and 1050 °C the activation energy is E a1 = 160 ± 10 kJ/mol. In the 1050-1150 °C temperature range a higher value is calculated E a2 = 252 ± 20 kJ/mol. The E a2 value and the X-ray diffraction (XRD) results and scanning electron microscope (SEM) energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) examinations are in accordance with a scale growth mechanism limited by a growing Cr 2 O 3 scale acting as a diffusion …

Effect of Impurities (Carbon and Manganese) on Iron Oxidation at High Temperature: Impurities-Rare Earth Element (Cerium) Interactions

1997

Apres oxydation du fer pur revetu d'un depot de CeO 2 , (T = 7000C, pO 2 = 0,04 Pa), le cerium se trouve localise dans la couche de wustite sous la forme de CeFeO 3 . La dissolution de cette phase assure l'introduction homogene du cerium a l'interieur de la couche de FeO. Sa formation est attribuee a un processus d'oxydo-reduction entre le depot de CeO 2 et les premiers germes de FeO. Dans le cas des echantillons d'acier Fe-Mn-C, recouverts de CeO 2 , le cerium n'est pas incorpore dans la couche d'oxyde de fer de facon homogene et se retrouve sous la forme de CeO 2 a l'interface oxyde-gaz. Le role de chaque impurete est maintenant bien etabli: le manganese inhibe l'incorporation du cerium d…

Reactive Element (Y,Ce) Effect on Stresses Determined In-Situ during Iron Oxidation at 800°C

2001

In-situ stress determinations by X-ray diffraction have been performed during pure iron oxidation (p(O 2 ) = 2 x 10 -3 Pa, T = 800°C). On yttrium implanted specimens the stress level is close to zero before oxidation. On CeO 2 coated specimens, the initial compressive stress due to surface polishing is not modified by the coating. During oxidation, the in-situ compressive stress value determined in the Fe (1-x) O scale, is not strongly dependent upon the reactive element nature. Nevertheless, the stress evolution during cooling and residual stresses determined after cooling to room temperature are very different. Blank and CeO 2 coated specimens show relatively high compressive stresses whe…
