Title: Development of oxide-dispersion-strengthened alloys for fossil energy applications

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5004691· OSTI ID:5004691

Iron-based alloys containing chromium, nickel, aluminum, and rare- earth metals or oxides have been developed by mechanical alloying for application in fossil energy systems. The presence of aluminum and nickel leads to precipitation of the Ni{sub 3}Al phase, which can improve the mechanical properties of the alloys. The addition of {approx}4 wt.{percent} Al to the alloy leads to formation of alumina scales when the alloys are exposed to oxidizing environment. A detailed description of the procedures for mechanical alloying is presented, and physical corrosion tests conducted in air and in sulfur-containing atmospheres, and in the presence of deposits of interest in fossil energy systems. 10 refs., 12 figs., 3 tabs.
