Abstract

Oxide-dispersed Fe-28at.% AI-2 %Cr alloys were produced by a powder metallurgy technique followed by hot extrusion. A variety of stable oxides were added to the base alloy to assess the effect of these dopants on the oxidation behavior at 1200 °C in air and O2. An Al2O3 dispersion flattened the α-Al2O3 scale, but produced none of the other reactive element effects and had an adverse influence on the long-term oxidation behavior. A Y2O3, dispersion improved the alumina scale adhesion relative to a Zr alloy addition at 1200 and 1300°C. However, the Y2O3 dispersion was not as effective in improving scale adhesion in Fe3Al as it is in FeCrAl. This inferior performance is attributed to a larger amount of interfacial void formation on ODS Fe3Al.
