AbstractA new approach to reduce the chromium and aluminium concentrations in FeCrAl alloys without significantly impairing corrosion resistance is to alloy with 1–2 wt.% silicon. This paper investigates the “silicon effect” on oxidation by comparing the oxidation behavior and scale microstructure of two FeCrAl alloys, one alloyed with silicon and the other not, in dry and wet air at 600 °C and 800 °C. Both alloys formed thin protective oxide scales and the Cr-evaporation rates were small. In wet air at 800 °C the Si-alloyed FeCrAl formed an oxide scale containing mullite and tridymite together with α- and γ-alumina. It is suggested that the reported improvement of the corrosion resistance of Al- and Cr-lean FeCrAl’s by silicon alloying is caused by the appearance of Si-rich phases in the scale.

During the cooling of protective oxide layers on high-temperature alloys, the oxide is usually placed under compression. This paper considers buckling and wedging processes of decohesion of the oxide in this situation. It is shown that the wedging mechanism, in which a tensile wedge crack grows at the oxide–metal interface, is favoured for thick oxides and an intrinsically strong oxide–metal interface. The results of numerical analyses of such wedging failure are presented for the particular case of a chromia film on an austenitic steel. Both elastic and creep deformation processes were considered. It is shown that creep relaxation within the steel markedly reduces the rate of growth of the interfacial crack compared with purely elastic behaviour. Agreement with experimental oxide spallation data is reasonable for this creep case.
