Role of nickel in the oxidation of Fe–Cr–Ni alloys in air–water vapour atmospheres
Abstract
A series of experimental austenitic alloys has been produced in which the nickel content ranges from 14 to 43%, with constant levels of 20%Cr, 1%Mn and 0.5%Si. A combination of isothermal, discontinuous and cyclic oxidation testing has been used to elucidate the performance in dry air and in air with 10%, 45% or 62% water vapour at 700°C and 1000°C. Evaluation was by means of thermogravimetry, surface analysis with glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy.Nickel is shown to have several roles: it accelerates the kinetics of chromia formation yet suppresses chromia spallation at 700°C. At 1000°C, it strongly decreases the breakaway oxidation and spalling associated with iron oxide formation. This effect is particularly marked in environments containing water vapour, where the material loss may be decreased 10-fold by an increase in the nickel content. Results correlate to thermodynamic and kinetic data which show nickel to increase the chromium activity and diffusivity in the alloy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
