RESUMO
The high temperature oxidation behavior of two ferritic stainless steels type AISI 430A and AISI 430E is examined at low oxygen pressure and high temperatures. The AISI 430A steel is ferritic up to 860 °C. Above this temperature, this steel is bi-phased: presence of austenite and ferrite phases. The 430E steel is stabilized with Nb, and is ferritic at all temperatures. The oxidation experiments were performed in a thermobalance SETARAM TGDTA 92, in the range of 850-950 °C, in Ar/H2/H2O atmosphere, under oxygen partial pressures lower than 1.3 x 10-18 atm. The microstructure and the composition of the oxide scales were analysed by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Different oxidation behaviors in AISI 430A and AISI 430E stainless steels were observed. At 850 °C, the oxidation of the 430A steel is greater than that of the 430E steel, but above 900 °C the oxidation of the 430A steels is lower than that of the 430E steel. The oxidation rate of the 430A steel shows low dependence on temperature, while the oxidation of the 430E follows an Arrhenius law, with an activation energy corresponding to the chromia scale growth.
