Abstract
The reaction of 2.25Cr–1Mo at 650 °C with CO–H 2–H 2O gas was investigated. Gas compositions were varied with respect to p CO and nominal carbon activity which calculated assuming equilibrium of the synthesis gas reaction. After an induction period, the steel grew a cementite scale, covered by a graphite deposit containing cementite particles. Carbon uptake kinetics were roughly linear. The rates did not correlate with the carbon activity, but indicated the existence of three parallel reaction paths. Individual rate constants were greater than those for pure iron, an effect attributed to faster cementite scale disintegration caused by the presence of chromium-rich oxide particles.
