Abstract

In the present work, intermetallic alloys Fe–Si and Fe–Al (Fe3Si–C–Cr and Fe3Al-C), produced by induction melting, were evaluated regarding their oxidation and abrasive resistance. The tests performed were quasi-isothermal oxidation, cyclic oxidation, and dry sand/rubber wheel abrasion. As reference, the ASTM A297-HH grade stainless steel was tested in the same conditions. In the oxidation tests, the Fe–Al based alloy presented the lowest oxidation rate, and the Fe–Si based alloy achieved the best results in the abrasion test, showing better performance than the HH type stainless steel.
