Abstract
High-temperature corrosion of heat-resisting alloys by CO2 produces external oxide scales and, in many cases, simultaneous internal carburization. In general, higher alloy chromium levels are required to achieve protective chromia formation in CO2 compared with in air. Corrosion reaction mechanisms are examined, particularly the thermodynamics which allow internal carburization of alloys exposed to low-carbon activity gases, and the ways in which carbon can penetrate oxide scales. The effects of other gas phase oxidants and of alloy manganese and silicon on these processes are briefly reviewed.
