Abstract The oxidation behavior of a new type of wrought Ni–Fe–Cr–Alsuperalloy has been investigated systematically in the temperature range of1100 to 1300°C. Results are compared with those of alloy 214, Inconel600, and GH 3030. It is shown that the oxidation resistance of the newsuperalloy is excellent and much better than that of the comparisonalloys. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron probe microanalysis(EPMA), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments reveal that the excellentoxidation resistance of the new superalloy is due to the formation of adense, stable and continuous Al2O3 and Cr2O3 oxide layer at hightemperatures. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) shows that the formationof Cr2O3 and Al2O3 oxide layers on the new superalloy reaches a maximum at1060 and 1356°C, respectively. The Cr2O3 layer peels off easily, and thesingle dense Al2O3 layer remains, giving good oxidation resistance attemperatures higher than 1150°C. In addition, the new superalloypossesses high mechanical strength at high temperatures. On-site testsshowed that the new superalloy has ideal oxidation resistance and can beused at high temperatures up to 1300°C in various oxidizing andcorrosion atmospheres, such as those containing SO2, CO2 etc., for longperiods.
