Abstract
Exposure of Ni–Cr alloys containing 5–30 wt% Cr to Ar-20O2 and Ar-20O2-20H2O at 650 °C produced an external NiO layer, internal chromium oxidation and an intermediate zone of NiO + Cr2O3. The NiO layer growth rate decreased with increasing alloy Cr content. Addition of water vapor to dry O2 changed the NiO grain structure from equiaxed-shaped to columnar-shaped. In pure water vapor, a thin external NiO layer was formed above a layer of unoxidized metallic Ni, with an IOZ beneath. Water vapor effects on NiO formation are discussed in terms of different mechanisms whereby the volume increase in the IOZ is accommodated.
