Abstract
The cyclic-oxidation behavior of a "low-nickel austenitic stainless steel" (LNiSS) at 873 and 973 K has been investigated up to 500 cycles. A wide ran ge of experimental techniques, including SEM, EDS, and XRD have been applie d to examine the oxide scales. After cyclic oxidation at 873 and 973 K, the new LNiSS alloy showed good oxidation resistance. XRD and EDS analysis sho w that composition of oxide scales developed during cyclic oxidation at 873 and 973 K are the same. The oxide scales formed a cubic oxide-type M2O3 an d a cubic spinel-type M3O4 adhered well to the substrate.
