Abstract:
The oxidation behavior of BGN80-3Cr steel,BG90H steel,BG90H-9Cr steel and BG90H-13Cr steel used for oil casing was investigated by high-temperature oxidation test.The results show that the oxidation products on BGN80-3Cr steel and BG90H steel surface are Fe2O3 and Fe3O4.Moreover,Fe3O4 is close to the steel substrate,while Fe2O3 is close to the outside air,and the thickness ratio of Fe2O3 to Fe3O4 is about 1∶(5-10).The oxidation products in BG90H-9Cr steel surface are Fe2O3 and FeCr2O4(FeO·Cr2O3).Although the selective oxidation product of Cr2O3 is not formed on BG90H-13Cr steel surface,the protective FeCr2O4 is formed because the mass fraction of Cr is higher than 10%.With the increase of oxidation time and the decrease of oxidation temperature,the protection of the oxidation products is enhanced,and the oxidation rate of tested steels all decrease.The sequence of smallest to largest for oxidation resistance of tested steels is BGN80-3Cr steel,BG90H steel,BG90H-9Cr steel and BG90H-13Cr steel.
