Effects of water vapor on protectiveness of Cr2O3 scale at 1073 k

Fe-Cr alloy is commonly being used as boiler tube’s material. It is subjected to prolonged exposure to water vapor oxidation. The ability to withstand high temperature corrosion can normally be attributed to the formation of a dense and slow growing Cr-richoxide scale known as chromia, Cr2O3 scal...
