Abstract
The cyclical oxidation behavior of an austenitic stainless steel (24% Ni, 10% Cr, 5% Al, and balance Fe) has been evaluated in the temperature range 800–1300°C. The effects of trace elements such as S, Y, Zr, and Ti on the oxidation of the austenitic stainless steel have also been evaluated. The results indicate that Fe-Ni-Cr-Al stainless steels exhibit superior oxidation resistance up to 1300°C due to the formation of a very adherent and thin film of α-Al2O3.
