Abstract

The oxidation resistance of the high temperature Ni-Cr alloys alloy 601 and alloy 602 CA was studied. Based on microanalysis data from cyclic oxidation experiments performed in a burner test rig, the total loss of chromium in the alloy was determined. A numerical analysis using the general diffusion equation was performed to model the mass transport for the observed chromium loss. Chromium depletion profiles were calculated with an effective diffusion coefficient derived from the data of the shortest exposure time. Good agreement was found between the measured and the computed chromium concentration at the alloy-oxide interface for longer exposure.
