Abstract
The MOCVD deposition of neodymium oxide and/orchromium oxide provided beneficial effects both onisothermal- and cyclic high-temperature behavior ofcommercial F17Ti stainless steel. Fracture crosssections provided information about the morphology ofthe oxide scales formed on bare steel and coatedspecimens. The chromia scales developed small equiaxedgrains on the Nd2O3-coated samplesand columnar grains on the uncoated ones. Neo dymium segregatedwithin a surface layer composed ofMn1.5Cr1.5O4 spineloxide. A complex phase (close to the structure ofCeTi21O38) was identified in thiszone. It could act as a source of neodymium ions, which couldsegregate to the grain boundaries of the chromia scale.Polished cross sections associated with X-ray mappingstudies confirmed the scale structure and the location of the rare-earth element in the outer part ofthe oxide layer.
