Effect of Rare Earth on Oxidation Behavior of 9Cr-3Co-2W Martensitic Heat-resistant Steel in 625 ℃ Water Vapor Environment
Steam oxidation corrosion resistance is an important index to evaluate boiler steel. In this study 9Cr-3Co-2W martensitic heat-resistant steel (/% 0.08C, 0.40Si, 0.40Mn, 9.00Cr, 0.20Ni, 0.50Mo, 1.50 W. 0.05Nb, 0.20V, 0.07N, 0.030Al, 0.0012B, S≤0.010, P≤0.020), the oxidation kinetics curves of the two groups without rare earth and with rare earth

in the 625 ℃ water vapor environment. However, the outer layer of iron oxide scale in the experimental steel without rare earth addition has poor density , and even cracks appear. The experimental steel with rare earth added has dense outer oxide layer and large chromium-rich oxide layer thickness. On the surface of the oxidation kinetics curve, at the initial stage of oxidation (0 h-200 h), with the extension of oxidation time, the oxidation rate of the test steel is large. After the oxidation time exceeds 200 h, the oxidation rate gradually decreases, and after 2 000 h, the oxidation rate approaches the level, and the oxidation rate continues to decline and gradually becomes stable. The addition of a small amount of rare earth Ce can help to form a dense oxide film and improve the oxidation resistance of the steel.
