Thanks for the feedback.
I wonder if the reason for our different experiences might be the operating temperature - as temperatures rise towards 650C stem oxidation becomes more problematic. Also, are you saying that aluminising has not worked, or do you suspect that it will not work because of...
I am loking for new applications for diffusion coatings, especially aluminising and chromising. We have done some work showing that high strength 9%Cr steels such as P91 have poor resistance to steam oxidation, and aluminising is very protective in this regard. Does anybody know of applications...
