Due to their excellent oxidation resistance and creep resistance at elevated temperatures, alumina forming austenitic (AFA) stainless steels have emerged as potential alloys for high temperature applications. In this study, a Reactive Air Aluminizing (RAA) method was used to aluminize the surface of AFA25 stainless steel. The high temperature oxidation behavior of both as-received and aluminized AFA25 was investigated at 850 °C in dry air. The mass gain per unit area was higher for the aluminized AFA25 than for the as-received material. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS), performed on the oxide scales following the high temperature oxidation tests, confirmed the formation of alumina scale on both as-received and aluminized AFA. However, the aluminized alloy exhibited a thicker alumina scale on the surface, as well as more extensive penetration of the scale into the subsurface region of the alloy.
