Thermal Alumina Scales on FeCrAl: Characterization and Growth Mechanism

Article Preview

Abstract:

High temperature oxidation resistance of alumina-forming materials is connected to the growth of dense, stable and protective alumina scales. Depending on temperature, impurities present in the base alloys, presence of water vapour in the oxidizing atmosphere, the alumina scales are composed of alpha-alumina (which is the stable phase obtained for temperatures over 1000°C) or of transient alumina (γ,θ,δ obtained for lower temperatures). It is generally considered that γ- Al2O3 grows when T<850°C, that θ-Al2O3 is present for 850°C
