Title: Influence of a Cerium surface treatment on the oxidation behavior of type 347 stainless steel

Abstract

A surface treatment was applied to the surface of Type 347 stainless steel to enhance oxidation resistance. The treatment consisted of dip coating coupons in a CeO2 and halide activator slurry, followed by a thermal treatment at 900C in an inert atmosphere for 12 hours. Cyclical oxidation tests were conducted at 800C in either dry air or air+3%H2O. In dry air, the treatment reduced the oxidation rate (reduced the magnitude of weight gain) of the alloy by a factor of three. Protective chromium based oxide and spinel ((Mn,Cr)3O4 and (Cr,Fe)2O3) phases formed on the surface of the untreated and treated alloy. More significantly, the treatment suppressed the oxide scale spallation that occurred upon cyclical exposure of this alloy to moist air. In moist air, less protective chromite (FeCr2O4), magnetite (Fe+2Fe2+3O4), and hematite (Fe2O3) formed as oxide products on the surface of the base alloy. The treated alloy did not spall during exposure to moist air, and interestingly, the treated alloy possessed similar oxidation rates (magnitude of weight gain) in both moist and dry air. The same protective chromium based oxide and spinel ((Mn,Cr)3O4 and (Cr,Fe)2O3) phases formed on the surface of the treated alloy exposed to both moist and drymore » air. In the aggressive moist environment, the Ce surface treatment suppressed the formation of less protective iron-oxides, and concomitant oxide scale spallation during thermal cycling.« less
