Fe-35Ni-25Cr, alloy 803, was developed for applications related to petrochemical and chemical process industries that require enhanced resistance to oxidation and carburization. It is known that accelerated oxidation/sulfidation is generally preceded by carburization in environments containing mixed oxidants (oxygen and sulfur) and a high carbon activity such as in some coal conversion and utilization systems. An alloy with superior oxidation and carburization resistance, would be expected to perform better in environments containing mixed oxidants. This paper presents corrosion performance data for the newly developed alloy in a mixed oxidant as well as oxidation and carburization environments. Relevant mechanical properties obtained on alloy 803 are also presented.
