Effect of Compressive Stress on the High-Temperature Oxidation Behavior of a Fe-20Ni Alloy in Air

Abstract:

The oxidation behavior of Fe-20Ni alloy under compressive stress in air was studied at 800, 900 °C. The results examined by using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicates that the oxide scales were consisted of an external scale and a subscale which has an intragranular scale (above 5 h at 800 °C and 900 °C) and an intergranular scale. Compared with the unstressed specimen, the growth kinetics of external scale was accelerated by an applied compressive stress. Besides, the compressive stress induced an increase in the growths of intragranular scale and intergranular scale formed on the specimens oxidized at 900 °C. However, the effect of compressive stress on the growth of intergranular scale and intragranular scale was not obvious in the case of 800°C. In addition, cracks developed in the subscale for the specimens oxidized under 2.5 MPa compressive stress when the oxidation time exceeded 20 h.
