Description

The influence of pre-oxidation on the corrosion resistance of the austenitic steels AC 66 (Fe-32Ni-27Cr-0.07Ce) and alloy 800H (Fe-32Ni-20Cr) was studied in a sulphur-oxygen-carbon bearing atmospheric at 700oC. For AC 66 the corrosion resistance was significantly improved by preoxidation, whereas this effect was less marked for Alloy 800H. This can be explained by a much better adherence of the preformed oxide scale for AC 66. The corrosion resistance was shown to decrease by superimposed deformation which leads to deeply penetrating intergranular corrosion paths. (Author)
