TEM comparative study on oxide films of 316L and T91 steel exposed to 350-500 °C steam

Abstract

Abstract: The oxide films of 316L and T91 exposed to 350-500 °C steam were investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Independent of the exposure temperature, a triplex oxide structure with outer magnetite, inner Cr-rich (Fe_1.4Cr_1.6O₄), and Ni-rich layer formed on 316L, while only a duplex layer with outer magnetite and inner Cr-rich (Fe_2.2Cr_0.8O₄) layer formed on T91. As the fast channels for oxidant and the obstacles for solid-state diffusion, nanopores are distributed evenly in the Cr-rich inner layer and are more abundant in 316L than in T91. The oxidation behavior of the materials was understood based on the microscopic characteristics of the oxide films.

Key words: Austenitic steel, Ferritic-martensitic steel, Steam oxidation, Oxide film, TEM
