About this document
High-Temperature Oxidation of Fe-Cr Steels by mogirevans is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes research on the high-temperature oxidation behavior of Fe-Cr steels in water vapor and steam. It finds that 9-12% Cr and 2-3% Cr alloys oxidize at similar rates at 550°C, but higher-Cr alloys provide better protection at higher temperatures up to 700°C. However, oxidation rates are still fast as the predominant scale formed is magnetite. Determining if the scale grows according to a parabolic or linear rate law is important for lifetime prediction but not well resolved by existing d
