Abstract

Samples of sol–gel alumina-coated and uncoated P92 steel were exposed to flue gas at 650 °C for 300 h to register and characterize the early stages of the protection effect of that coating. As a result of this treatment, a 50-µm-thick bilayered oxide scale had formed on the surface of the uncoated sample. Below the scale a 40-µm-thick inner oxidation zone was detected. In contrast, the porous, micron-thick alumina coating enabled the formation of a chromium oxide scale with a thickness of some nanometres at the interface between steel substrate and coating. In this case, high-temperature corrosion of the steel was prevented so far.
