Abstract
The effect of surface preparation on the isothermal oxidation behavior of Fe-33Ni-19Cr alloy was study in this paper. The surface preparation of the test samples was obtained by grinding process using different grit of silicon carbide abrasive paper, namely P600, P800 and P1000. The surface area and weight of the sample were measured before the oxidation test, by using Vernier caliper and analytical balance. The ground sample of Fe-33Ni-19Cr alloys were isothermally oxidized at 1000℃ for 150 hours in laboratory air. The weight of oxidized samples was recorded after the isothermal oxidation test at every 25 hours exposure duration in order to determine the oxidation kinetic of all samples. The oxide surface morphology of Fe-33Ni-19Cr alloy was characterized by scanning electron microscope. The oxidation kinetic of all samples displayed a weight gain pattern as the exposure duration increase, followed a parabolic rate law. While the result of surface morphology shows that the lowest grit of surface finish, P600, display less oxide exfoliation occurred.
