Abstract

The high temperature oxidation behavior of two highly alloyed refractory austenitic steels is studied at 1000 °C under air. Both short-term oxidation kinetics and long-term oxidation products are investigated. Structural, elemental and morphological analyses are coupled to characterize the oxide phases’ formation. Chromia and spinel are the main phases for both samples although they suffer important descaling after 4 weeks oxidation, but alloying elements are responsible for the formation of many other oxides. Microstructures are compared and discussed. New Raman spectra are reported for manganese chromite spinels. Their assignments are provided and discussed at the light of the proposed cationic distribution.
