Air Oxidation of Porous Cu-35wt.%Ni-(5,10,15) wt%Cr Alloys at 650°C

Abstract:

The oxidation behavior of porous Cu-Ni-Cr alloys containing approximately 5,10 and 15 wt.%Cr, but with a similar Ni content of 35 wt.%, was studied at 650°C in air. The results showed that the oxidation of alloys follows linear law at initial stage and then the parabolic rate law. Continuous external scales of CuO and Cu₂O formed on the alloys. Some internal oxide of were observed. In addition, with increase of Cr content, the oxidation rate decreased slightly.
