Abstract
The effect of Ce on the oxidation behaviour and microstructure evolution of nickel-saving austenitic heat-resistant cast steel in air at 900 °C was investigated by performing the isothermal oxidation tests. After 200 h of oxidation, the oxidation resistance of Ce-containing steel was about 20 % higher than that of Ce-free steel. In addition to its role as a reactive element, alloyed Ce slowed the rate of manganese depletion from the substrate and subsurface ferrite formation, leading to the improvement of the oxidation resistance of Ce-containing steel.
