Abstract
A protective oxide film is the key to the corrosion resistance of the FeCrAl alloy. The mechanism of the formation of the multilayer oxide film of the FeCrAl alloy in 700 °C air was explored by studying the structure evolution of the oxide film and the oxidation kinetics of FeCrAl. The results show that a multilayer oxide layer is formed on the surface of the FeCrAl alloy after 1344 h, with a (Fe,Cr)2O3 layer, an Al-rich oxide layer, an Al-depleted zone, and a new Al-rich oxide layer sequentially arranged from the surface to the matrix. This indicates that the Al element plays an important role in the formation of the oxide film. The Al in the matrix is depleted to form the Al-rich oxide layer, resulting in the Al-depleted zone. The new Al-rich oxide layer is formed under the Al-depleted zone by internal oxidation. It should be noted that the precipitation of the AlN phase in the matrix is observed, which might be a probable factor for the Al-depleted zone in the matrix.
