Abstract

The breakaway oxidation behaviour of ferritic stainless steels 430, 443 and 445 has been investigatedat 1150◦C in humid air. The oxidation kinetics exhibited significant differences among the three ferriticstainless steels. A uniform and steady growing oxide scale was developed on the 430 steel with an evensteel/oxide interface. Local breakdown of the initially protective oxide scale occurred and oxide noduleswere developed on the 443 and 445 stainless steels, resulting in irregular and rough steel/oxide inter-faces. The breakaway oxidation behaviour was significantly influenced by the microstructure and thecomposition of the oxide scale. The Mn-Cr spinel oxide formed on top of the Cr2O3scale in Mo alloying445 steel can greatly minimise the Cr depletion.
