Abstract
The oxidation behavior of wrought and dispersion-strengthened alumina-forming FeCrAl and Fe-Al alloys was evaluated in a CO2-H 2O atmosphere at 1100°C. This environment simulates a potential future high temperature oxy-fired superheater condition. Alumina-forming alloys typically perform better than chromia-forming alloys in the presence of water vapor and high carbon activities at high temperature. However, under these conditions, a significant increase in scale exfoliation and oxidation rate was observed compared to similar exposures in ambient air. Additional characterization is needed to understand these observations.
