Abstract

In this study, the effect of various aluminum contents on the high-temperature oxidation behavior of spheroidal graphite cast irons was investigated. Samples with 0, 3.7, 5.5, 6.4, and 7.5 wt% aluminum were prepared via the in-mold casting process and oxidized for 100 h at 750 °C through exposure to hot static air in an electric muffle furnace. The oxide layers were investigated by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The results revealed the direct effect of aluminum on increasing the oxidation resistance by forming a protective, dense, and uniform Al-rich oxide (AlFeO3) layer. The thickness of inner and outer oxide layers decreased from 177 to 1.05 µm and 180 to 1.17 µm by adding 7.5 wt% aluminum, respectively. The measured oxidation kinetics are discussed.
