Abstract
A cyclic method has been developed to measure the spalling resistance of metals. The method involves the determination of sample weight as a function of the number of heating cycles. The shape of the curve provides a quick evaluation and, in some cases, the scale resistance can be ascertained after just a few cycles. The technique is simpler than present methods and eliminates the need to remove the scale to determine metal recession. Minimum thickness requirements must be met, however, to avoid complications from the depletion of alloying elements from the surface. The technique has been applied to various steels and to Fe-Cr-Al alloys.
