Abstract

The influence of various gaseous environments on the 330Cb (Fe-35Ni-18Cr-1Nb-2.15Si) oxidation during 144h, at 900°C, has been studied. In air, a non-adherent Mn1.5Cr1.5O4 and Cr2O3 containing scale is formed and no continuous silica scale is observed at the alloy/oxide interface. In nitrogen, the chromia scale is adherent and a continuous cristobalite subscale is detected at the alloy/oxide interface. In Ar-5vol.% H2, the oxide scale is mainly composed of chromia and manganese chromite. A thick cristobalite scale is also present at the alloy/oxide interface. On this austenitic alloy the protective silica scale formation is promoted by low oxygen containing gaseous environments and the high silicon content.
