Cyclic oxidation behavior of selected commercial NiCr-alloys for engine exhaust valves in wet air environment between 800 and 950 °C

Journal Article · · Corrosion Science
In this work, the impact of water vapor on the cyclic oxidation behavior of four commercial Ni-based superalloys (N80A, N90, R41 and H282) was investigated between 800 and 950°C. Oxidation- and volatilization-induced Cr loss accelerated the transition from protective and adherent oxide formation (Cr2O3) to mixed oxides that significantly spalled at 950°C for H282 and R41. The accelerated oxidation, Cr depletion, and spallation susceptibility for R41 and to a lesser extent for H282 compared to N80A and N90 was related to the higher fraction of γ’, which led to increased Ti incorporation into the Cr2O3 scale in the presence of water vapor.
