Abstract

The effect of surface finish on the scaling behavior of Super 304H was investigated in steam and supercritical water (SCW). The oxide scales were analyzed using scanning electron microscope with an energy dispersive X-ray detector, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy. The results showed that surface deformation improved the oxidation resistance by promoting the preferable formation of chromia and improving the scale adhesion. In SCW, the absence of hematite may be ascribed to the low oxygen partial pressure; while the whisker growth on the sandblasted sample may have resulted from the low oxygen partial pressure and the increased chromium diffusion flux.
