Title: HIGH TEMPERATURE OXIDATION OF IRON-CHROMIUM BINARY ALLOYS IN WATER VAPOR. PART 1. A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF TEH MECHANISM OF OXIDATION OF IRON-CHROMIUM BINARY ALLOYS IN WATER VAPOR

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4112739

The oxidation of Cr-Fe alloys (Cr content of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 wt.%) in a water vapor-argon atmosphere was studied at 700, 900, and llOO/sup o/C. A mechanism for the oxidation process is suggested in the form of wustite decomposition at the outer-inner scale layer boundary, giving rise to Fe/sup 2+/ diffusion to the outer layer and O/sup 2/diffusion to the alloy-oxide interface.
