Abstract
Fe-Mn-Si-Cr-Ni alloys are known by their shape memory properties, however, oxidation studies are still incipient. This study evaluated an Fe-17Mn-5Si-10Cr-4Ni-VC alloy on cyclic oxidation tests at 800, 900 and 1000 °C. Mass variation was evaluated and oxide layers were examined by SEM, EDS and XRD. An anomalous mass variation was observed: after initial spallation, the material restarted mass gain. The formed Mn-depleted zone changed the austenite microstructure to ferrite on the metal/oxide interface and better oxide anchoring was promoted through the roughness generated. The result makes this alloy an interesting candidate for applications where cyclic oxidation is an important issue.
