Oxidation Resistance

Static Oxidation Testing

Environment: Flowing Air
Test Duration: 1,008 h
Number of Cycles: 6
Cycle Length: 168 h
Temperatures: 1600, 1700, 1800°F (871, 927, 982°C)
Metal Loss = (A-B)/2
Average Internal Penetration = C
Maximum Internal Penetration = D
Average Metal Affected = Metal Loss + Average Internal Penetration
Maximum Metal Affected = Metal Loss + Maximum Internal Penetration

Dynamic Oxidation Testing (Burner Rig)

Burner rig oxidation tests were conducted by exposing, in a rotating holder, samples 0.375 inch x 2.5 inches x thickness (9.5mm x 64mm x thickness) to the products of combustion of fuel oil (2 parts No. 1 and 1 part No. 2), burned at an air to fuel ratio of about 50:1. The gas velocity was about 0.3 mach. Samples were automatically removed from the gas stream every 30 minutes and fan cooled to less than 500°F (260°C) and then reinserted into the flame tunnel.
