Three studies on the oxidation behaviour of austenitic stainless steels were described in the present paper. (1) High temperature oxidation behaviour and its mechanism in austenitic stainless steels with high silicon: Sulfur contained as impurity in steel showed a harmful influence to the oxidation resistance of 19Cr-13Ni-3.5Si stainless steels. It was found that the abnormal oxidation was caused from the surroundings of MnS inclusions. (2) Effect of a small addition of yttrium on high temperature oxidation resistance of Si-containing austenitic stain less steels: The oxidation resistance of 19Cr-10Ni-1.5Si steels was improved remarkably even with only 0.01%Y addition, which is the same concentration as added for de-oxygenation. Y was enriched at the grain boundary of oxide scale and metal-oxide interface. It was suggested that Y-containing steels shoed good oxidation resistance, because the enriched Y at the grain boundary and metal-oxide interface prevented the diffusion of iron and oxygen ions through the oxide scale. (3) Effect of grain size on the oxidation behaviour of austenitic stainless steels: Type 304, 316 and 310 steels with finer grain size showed better oxidation resistance than those with coarser grain size at 850°C. The oxide scale of steels with coarser grain size easily spalled during the cooling process.

Abstract The scaling of austenitic stainless steels Type 302, 309 and 330 has been investigated by weight gain vs time measurements in air at 1600 to 2000 F and subsequent examination of the scales. As had been found previously with chromium steel, the curves exhibit breaks indicating intermediate periods of rapid oxidation due to disruption of the protective scale layer. Accumulation of silica at the metal/scale interface is found to contribute to this disruption; voids are considered to have the same effect. A distinction is drawn between such breaks and the type which arises from the extraordinary protectiveness of an initial thin oxide film, which is markedly affected by surface preparation and prior treatment. 3.2.3

Alumina-forming austenitic stainless steels are known for their superior high-temperature oxidation resistance. Following our previous work that solved the matching of major alloying elements in their specific 16-atom cluster formula, we here focus on the 800 °C air-oxidation resistance of 0.08 wt. % C alloy series satisfying cluster formula [(Al0.89Si0.05NbxTa0.06−x)-(Fe11.7−yNiyMn0.3)]Cr3.0−z(Mo,W)z, x = 0.03 or 0.06, y = 3.0 or 3.2, z = 0.07 or 0.2, to explore the effect of minor alloying elements Mo, Nb, Ta and W. This cluster formula is established particularly based on alloys which were originally developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. All samples are graded as complete oxidation resistance level according to Chinese standard HB 5258-2000, as their oxidation rate and oxidation-peeling mass are generally below 0.1 g/m2 × h and 1.0 g/m2, respectively. In alloys without Ta and W, a Cr2O3-type oxide layer is formed on the surface and Al2O3 particles of sizes up to 4 μm are distributed beneath it. In contrast, in Ta/W-containing alloys, a continuous protective Al2O3 layer is formed beneath the outer Cr2O3 layer, which prevents internal oxidation and provides the lowest weight gain. Instead of internal Al2O3 particles, AlN is formed in Ta/W-containing alloys. The W-containing alloy possesses the thinnest internal nitride zone, indicating the good inhibition effect of W on nitrogen diffusion.
