Résumé

The short-term oxidation behaviour of RA 602CA, Inconel 693, Manaurite 40XO and Sumitomo 696, which are four alloys recommended for hydrocarbon processing, was studied both in air and in Ar–H2O to determine the conditions of pre-oxidation treatments. Regardless of the considered material, the oxidation rate at 950 °C was systematically higher in Ar–H2O than in dry air. Surface examination of the Al-containing alloys indicated that they were not uniformly oxidized all over the surface. All Al-containing alloys (from 1.6 to 3.2% wt) formed an external protective alumina scale and behaved as alumina-forming alloys in dry air at 950 °C. In contrast, these alloys developed a rate-controlling chromia scale and severe internal oxidation in a H2O-containing atmosphere. Compared with their oxidation behaviour in air + H2O, the phenomenon was significantly enhanced in the atmosphere that coupled water vapour with a low oxygen pressure. Consequently, the Al-containing alloys should not be pre-oxidized in a water vapour atmosphere prior to long exposure to a corrosive atmosphere. In contrast, the chromia-forming Al-free 696 alloy exhibited identical oxidation behaviour in both atmospheres, demonstrating that the degradation of this alloy was not significantly affected by water vapour.
