Cyclic and isothermal oxidation behavior at 1100 and 1200 C of Ni-20Cr, Ni-20Cr-3Mn, Ni-20Cr-3Si, and Ni-40Cr alloys

Alloys of Ni-20Cr, Ni-20Cr-3Mn, Ni-20Cr-3Si, and Ni-40Cr were cyclically oxidized at 1100 and 1200 C for up to 100 hours. Oxidation behavior was judged by sample thickness and weight change, metallography, diffraction, and microprobe analysis. The least attacked were Ni-40Cr and Ni-20Cr-3Si. The alloy Ni-20Cr-3Mn was much less attacked than Ni-20Cr, but more than the other alloys. The formation of Cr2O3 accounted for the increased resistance of Ni-Cr and Ni-20Cr-3Si, and the formation of MnCr2O4 accounts for the improvement in Ni-20Cr-3mn over Ni-20Cr.

Cyclic and isothermal oxidation behavior on some Ni-Cr alloys

It is shown experimentally that 3 wt.% Si and 3 wt.% Mn additions can substantially improve the oxidation resistance of Ni-20Cr under both isothermal and cyclic conditions at 1100 and 1200 C. This is especially true in cyclic oxidation. In all cases, Si offers a greater improvement than Mn; however, the advantage of Si is substantial only during cyclic oxidation at 1200 C. The Si additions which lead to alloys of improved oxidation resistance suppress the formation of NiO and NiCr2O4 even under the most severe test conditions. The mechanism of improvement afforded by Mn appears to be the formation of MnCr2O4 at the expense of NiO and NiCr2O4.
