High Temperature Oxidation Kinetics Of Alumina Forming Steels For Petrochemical Processes, Kao Zoua Yang
High Temperature Oxidation Kinetics Of Alumina Forming Steels For Petrochemical Processes, Kao Zoua Yang
Theses and Dissertations
Petrochemical industries produce 14.33 million barrels of petroleum products a day and by 2023, are expected to produce over a trillion dollars in sales annually. Petroleum is the number one used fuel source and is the raw material used to produce a wide range of petrochemical products including ethylene which is the raw chemical precursors that is crucial to the polymer market. Ethylene is created by the process of cracking ethane and other hydrocarbons in steel reactors at high temperature and potentially oxidizing conditions. The cracking process produces a range of byproducts including a detrimental solid carbon, called coke, which …

The long-term oxidation behavior of HfB2 and of HfB2-20 vol.% SiC was studied. Test samples of each material were oxidized at 1500 °C in air using a box furnace. The exposure times were 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 30, 45 and 90 h. Weight gain, oxide scale composition and oxide scale thickness were characterized for both materials. Crystal structure of the surface scales was analyzed using x-ray diffraction. Oxide scales were further characterized via scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis. For HfB2 the oxide scale consists predominantly of porous HfO …

Austenitic Cr–Ni Alloyed Heat Resistant Steels with Nb Additions Are Used for Intensively Thermo-Mechanically Loaded Cast Components Working in Extreme High Temperature Oxidizing Environment. their Performance during Static Oxidation and Transient Thermo-Mechanical Loading Was Investigated to Recommend an Optimal Cost-Effective Cr/Ni Composition of Nb-Alloyed Austenitic Class Steels. the Static Oxidation and Transient Thermo-Mechanical Behavior of Three Austenitic Steels with Different Cr/Ni Alloying Levels Were Investigated and Compared for Variety of Working Conditions. Static Oxidation Was Performed between 900 °C and 1000 °C in Air for 400 H. the Critical Temperature Which Increases Spallation during Static Oxidation Was Determined for Each …
