Title: Cyclic Oxidation Behavior and Durability of ODS-FeCrAl Alloys in H2O and CO2 rich environments

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1079277

Cyclic oxidation testing was conducted at 1200 C in O2, dry air and in atmospheres rich in H2O and/or CO2 to simulate combustion environments. The oxidation rates were significantly higher in air + 10%H2O and a mixture of O2-buffered 50%H2O-50%CO2, leading to shorter times to breakaway oxidation. Curve fitting using the COSP cyclic oxidation program confirmed that the presence of H2O results in an increase of the alumina spallation rate. The use of specimen mass gain modeling associated with the characterization of pre-oxidized specimens and in particular the determination of the remaining Al content after exposure, will allow to accurately estimate the durability of oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) FeCrAl alloys in combustion environments.
