Title: Theoretical Study of the Oxidation Behavior of Precipitation Hardening Steel

Abstract

The oxidation of precipitation hardening (PH) steels is a rather unexplored area. In the present work an attempt is made is made to estimate the kinetics of a PH steel. For this purpose specimens of the material under examination were isothermally heated at 850, 900 and 950 deg. C for 15 hr. Kinetics was based on TGA results. During heating a thick scale is formed on the substrate surface, which is composed by different oxides. The layer close to the substrate is compact and as a result it impedes corrosion. The mathematical analysis of the collected data shows that the change of the mass of the substrate per unit area versus time is described by a parabolic law.
