Abstract

An environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) equipped with a heating stage has been used to study in situ the morphological and chemical changes during hot corrosion of the stainless steel 1.4835. The sample was exposed to air up to a temperature of 740 °C. The onset and the development of scale formation were monitored successfully. The thin oxide layers were subsequently characterised by Raman microscopy. Depending on the heating rate, different amounts of Cr2O3, Fe2O3 and spinels were identified on the sample surface.
