Abstract: | Austenitic Fe-18Cr-20Ni-1.5Mn alloys containing 0, 0.6, and 1.5 wt.% Si were produced both by conventional and rapid solidification processing. The cyclic oxidation resistance of these alloys was studied at 900°C in a SO2-O2gas mixture to elucidate the role of alloy microstructure and Si content on oxidation properties in bioxidant atmospheres. All the large-grained, conventionally processed alloys exhibited breakaway oxidation during cyclic oxidation due to their poor rehealing characteristics. The rapidly solidified, fine-grained alloys that contained less than 1.5 wt.% Si exhibited very protective oxidation behavior. There was considerable evidence of sulfur penetration through the protective chromia scale. The rapidly solidified alloys that contained 1.5 wt.% Si underwent repeated scale spallation that led to breakaway oxidation behavior. The scale spallation was attributed to the formation of an extensive silica sublayer in the presence of sulfur in the atmosphere. |
