Abstract

The corrosion behaviour and Cr retention ability of SS309, aluminised SS309, and AluChrom 318 have been investigated at 850 °C in air with 3% H2O. The SS309 samples failed the specifications for application as cathode air preheater (CAPH) material due to a high Cr evaporation rate and massive scale spallation. The surface aluminisation dramatically decreased the Cr evaporation rate of SS309, but not in the long-term due to breakaway oxidation induced alumina scale spallation. The AluChrom 318 formed a γ-Al2O3/α-Al2O3 layer scale and demonstrated the highest Cr retention ability and oxidation resistance among the tested alloy samples.
