Abstract

The high temperature oxidation of cast alloys represents an important problem in several industries: petrochemicals, chemical processing, the arms industry, gas turbines, aircraft engines and cement mill equipment. Many alloyed cast steels are used in these areas. The present chapter describes the alloys’ resistance to corrosion at elevated temperatures, the stability of their microstructures and three group of cast steels: Fe-Cr; Fe-Cr-Ni and Fe-Ni-Cr.


Keywords: Cast grades, Elevated temperatures, Mechanism of oxidation, Microstructures, Oxidation, Oxide scale.
