Abstract
A new kind of Ni-Fe-based superalloy is designed recently for 750 °C-class A-USC boiler tube. The oxidation behavior of the designed alloys with various combinations of anti-oxidation additions, Cr, Al and Si, was investigated at 750 °C and 850 °C, respectively. The results indicated that the oxidation rate of tested alloys decreased with the increase of the sum of additions. Cr addition may drop the relative constant of parabolic rate greatly when temperature is raised. But the oxide scale, mainly consisted of NiCr spinel at 750 °C and NiCrMn spinel at 850 °C, was similar while the Cr content is in a range of 20–25 wt.% at tested temperatures. Al addition, however, showed the best effective to reduce the oxidation rates. Internal Al-rich oxide was observed at the scale/metal interface for alloys added with high content of Al and was increased with Al content increase. Very tiny difference between the oxide scales of the Si-added alloys was identified when Si content varies among 0.02–0.05 wt.%. Basing on these results, this presentation discussed the optimum combination of anti-oxidation additions as well as oxidation mechanisms in the designed Ni-Fe-base superalloy.
