Abstract

The oxidation behavior of porous nickel low-chromium alloys containing up to 1 wt%Cr oxidized in air at 1273K for 100 h was investigated. Porous-duplex scale was formed on the 1 wt%Cr pellets while single oxide layers were obtained on the 0.25 and 0.5 wt%Cr pellets. Cavities were formed underneath the NiO scales and also between both layers formed on the oxidized 1 wt%Cr pellets. Accumulation of NiCr2O4was noticed at the oxide/ metal interface. The growth mechanism of the scales was explained on the basis of molecular oxygen inward migration.
