Oxidation Behavior of 30wt.%Cr-3.75wt.%V High Chromium Cast Iron

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work focuses on the oxidation behavior of 2.4wt.%C-30wt.%Cr-3.75wt.%V cast iron in air at 1000 °C for 1-48 h with weight gain measurements taken at different times. The oxidized surfaces and cross sections were characterized by XRD, OM, SEM and EDS. It was found that the as-cast microstructure consisted of a ferritic matrix and M7C3 carbide. The surface oxide scale consisted of multi-oxides and the grain size of the oxides increased with increasing holding times. XRD and SEM-EDS results revealed that the multi-oxide layer can be Cr2O3, (Fe,Cr,V)2O3 and SiO2. After about 48 h, a continuous SiO2 inner-layer was observed and the oxide scale tended to swell, contained pores, and became detached from the surface because of its poor adherence.
