309/309S vs. 310/310S bei hohen Temperaturen

Oxidationsresistenz von 309/309s vs. 310/310S bei hohen Temperaturen

Oxidation and Edelstahl

Under most conditions, Metalllegierungen reagieren mit ihrer Umgebung. The most common reaction is Oxidation, where metals combine with oxygen to form oxides.

In stainless steel, Chrom helps resist oxidation. A thin, stable chromium oxide layer (Cr₂O₃), called chromia, is formed on the surface. This layer grows slowly and adheres well to the metal, preventing faster-forming oxides from developing.

How Protection Works

Once a thick and stable chromium oxide layer is formed, it blocks further oxidation. As the layer grows thicker, oxidation slows down. This is because oxygen and metal ions must travel farther through the oxide layer.

This behavior is called protective scale formation. It is similar to the Passivierung process seen in corrosion at lower temperatures.

Alloy Composition and Oxidation Resistance

Der Chromgehalt in stainless steel plays a key role in high-temperature oxidation resistance.

Alloys with at least 20% Chrom are usually considered heat-resistant.
Replacing iron with nickel can also improve high-temperature performance.

309/309S vs. 310/310S

Beide WIR HABEN 309 und ATI 310 Sind highly alloyed austenitic stainless steels. Because of their composition, they offer excellent resistance to oxidation, especially at elevated temperatures.

How Oxidation Is Measured

The resistance to oxidation is often measured by tracking weight gain after exposure to high heat.

When a metal oxidizes, it absorbs oxygen and becomes heavier.
More weight gain usually means more oxidation and lower resistance.
Less weight gain suggests better protection and higher resistance.

Zusammenfassung

Zusammenfassend:

309/309S and 310/310S form protective chromium oxide layers.
