High Temperature Oxidation And Metal Dusting Resistance Of Traditional Iron-Based And Novel Alumina Forming Austenitic Alloys, Wen-Chieh Lee

Theses and Dissertations

Metal dusting is a catastrophic form of corrosion and carburization, and is a disintegration of alloys into a dust of metal particles, oxides and graphite deposition products. Metal dusting and related coking phenomenon happen in industrial fields where carburizing syngas appears in the process. Metal dusting would cause damage in the form of pits and notches in pipes and other metallic equipment often causing a loss of production time or reduced component lifetimes. It is of great importance to prevent this corrosion from happening to the metal materials used by the industry.

To counter the corrosion, a new generation of …
