The Role of Oxidation Resistance in High Temperature Alloy Selection for a Future with Green Hydrogen

Journal Article · · JOM. Journal of the Minerals, Metals & Materials Society
Hydrogen is being considered integral to the future energy landscape but there is limited mechanistic understanding and a lack of predictive models to describe the combined effects of alloy and gas composition, temperature, thermal cycling and water vapor contents on the oxidation behavior of high-temperature materials. Experimental evaluations were combined with coupled thermodynamic-kinetic modeling to investigate the oxidation behavior of five representative Ni-based superalloys in two water vapor contents (10%, 60% H2O) under thermal cycling (1-h, 100-h cyles) conditions at 800°C and 1000°C. The alloy with the highest Ti content demonstrated the poorest cyclic oxidation behavior while the alloy with highest Cr and Al contents was expected to continue to support protective formation of a compact Al2O3 scale. Finally, accelerated degradation of the chromia-forming alloys was observed in the higher water vapor content but the impact on transient oxidation of the alumina-forming alloys needs further investigations.
