Abstract

The use of nitriding and carburizing atmospheres in industrial furnaces leads to a drastic reduction in their lifetime. In order to enhance protection, a pre-oxidation step of the chromia-forming alloys used in the furnaces is necessary. The aim of this study is to show the influence of the gaseous environment on the degradation resistance of a pre-oxidized Ni–Cr–Si model alloy at 950 °C. Two different gaseous environments were used: dry air and nitrogen containing 5 volume % of hydrogen (N2–5%H2). After dry air oxidation, a continuous amorphous SiO2 subscale was formed at the chromia/metal interface. After oxidation in N2–5%H2, containing 20 ppmv oxygen, a non-continuous crystalline SiO2 subscale is observed.
