Oxidation/Corrosion Behaviour of ODS Ferritic/Martensitic Steels in Pb Melt at Elevated Temperature

Table 1

The scale dimension (𝜇m) and thinning of samples (mm/year) versus exposure time of Fe-9Cr and Fe-14Cr ODS steels facing the oxygen-saturated Pb melt at temperature 550°C.

Steel	Time, h	Thickness of scale, 𝜇m			Thinning, mm/year	Remarks
		Whole	Outer	Inner
Fe-9Cr	240	35	10	25	—	Thin, compact, and dense oxide layer
	500	40	15	25	—	Thick, compact, and dense oxide layer
	1000	45	20	25	0.22	Thick, compact, and dense oxide layer
Fe-14Cr	240	45	15	30	—	Thin, compact, and dense oxide layer
	500	40	15	25	—	Thick, compact, and dense oxide layer
	1000	60	25	35	0.31	Thick, compact, and dense oxide layer
