Abstract

The high-temperature steam oxidation behavior of Fe-13Cr-6Al-xMo (x = 1, 2, 3 or 4) is assessed from 1000 to 1300 °C. The oxidation film is dominated by α-Al₂O₃ with a nanolayer of Cr₂O₃ attached to the altered matrix. The oxidation behavior is thermodynamically driven and results in greater weight gain, and fast film growth is observed for the alloys at higher oxidation temperatures. Mo exerts an indirect effect on the oxidation behavior, with large-scale film deformation occurring by accelerating the lateral growth of the oxidation film. The high-temperature steam oxidation behavior of Fe–Cr-Al-Mo is not intrinsic and mainly depends on the oxidation temperature and surface film integrity, as evidenced by the diversity of weight gain curves.
