摘要
Effect of water vapour on oxidation of Fe-13Cr-5Ni martensitic alloy at 973 K was investigated. Water vapour accelerated oxidation rate by more than an order of magnitude. The scale formed in Ar-21%O2 exhibited a duplex structure consisting of Fe2O3 outer scale and Cr-rich corundum type inner scale. Selective oxidation of Cr was hindered in Ar-21%O2-15%H2O, therefore Fe-rich (Fe, Cr, Ni)3O4 formed with Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 outer scale. The different structures and behaviour of Ni enrichment at alloy/scale interface were discussed. The oxidation of this alloy was compared with prior studies of Fe-Cr-Ni austenitic alloys.
