Kinetics of corrosion processes of alloy on the intermetallic phase matrix FeAl in high temperature in air atmosphere

摘要

The aim of this paper was to determine the resistance to high-temperature corrosion in atmosphere of air for alloy Fe-40Al-5Cr-0.2Ti-0.2B. Corrosion tests were conducted in temperatures from 600 to 900°C in time from 2 to 64 hours. Conducted tests have shown a slight increase of weight of samples in periods of time which followed. Increase of weight is connected with corrosion products in the form of passive oxides which form on the surface of the alloy. Kinetics of corrosion processes has parabolic course in tested temperature range which proves the formation of passive layers of corrosion products on the surface of samples. Heat resistance of the alloy on intermetallic phase matrix FeAl brings about potential possibilities to apply this alloy as a material meant for work in elevated and high temperatures in the environment which includes oxygen.
