KCl-Induced Corrosion of an FeCrAl Alloy at 600 °C in O2 + H2O Environment: The Effect of Pre-oxidation

Abstract: The present study investigates the influence of H 2 O and KCl on the high temperature corrosion of an FeCrAl alloy at 600°C. Polished samples were exposed to O 2 or O 2 ? H 2 O and to O 2 ? H 2 O with KCl applied. The samples were investigated using SEM/EDX, XRD, IC, AES and SIMS. It was found that KCl accelerates corrosion and that a rapidly growing iron-rich oxide forms with time. Chromate formation is shown to initiate the formation of a non-protective oxide scale. Pre-oxidising the alloy before exposure in… Show more

“…While the surface between the salt particles appears to be free from KCl, it was shown previously [17,20] that small amounts of KCl were present also in these areas. The alumina scales formed during 1 h pre-oxidation at 900°C failed during the first corrosion exposure (Fig.…”

“…N 2 ? H 2 O environment at 600°C causes rapid corrosion of the FeCrAl alloys Kanthal Ò APMT and AF [15][16][17]. In other words in the presence of KCl, the normally protective and alumina-rich external oxide was replaced with a rapidly growing iron-rich scale, and the two FeCrAl alloys behaved similar to FeCrNi alloys in the same environment [10].…”
