Effect of Surface Finish on High-Temperature Oxidation of Steels in CO2, Supercritical CO2, and Air
Abstract
Current and future power systems require steels resistant to high-temperature oxidation in CO2-rich environments. The introduction of structural defects by various surface treatments can profoundly affect the oxidation/corrosion behavior of steels in many environments. This effect is largely unexplored for steels exposed to high-temperature CO2, which is the focus of this work. We prepared Grade 22, Grade 91, 347H, and 310S steels with three different surface finishes, ranging from little to substantial surface damage, and exposed the steels to 1 bar CO2, 200 bar supercritical CO2, and laboratory air at 550 °C for up to 1500 h. Surface finish had little impact on the oxidation behavior of low-Cr (2 wt%) Grade 22 and high-Cr (25 wt%) 310S steels. In contrast, intermediate-Cr steels Grade 91 (8 wt%) and 347H (17 wt%) generally showed improved oxidation and carburization resistance with increasing extent of surface damage, which was attributed to the delay or prevention of the onset of Fe-rich oxide nodule growth. Comparison between exposure environments suggests that this effect is more complex for CO2 compared to air and that it is additionally affected by CO2 pressure. In conclusion, the results suggest that surface treatments should be considered as one approach to achievemore »
