Abstract

Stainless Steel 304 is being investigated for accident tolerant claddings. In this investigation, we use multi-modal characterization to evaluate oxidation under laboratory air versus 100% steam at 1200 ºC for 2 h. Air oxidation features Fe(NiMn)O₄, Fe₃O₄, Fe_(3−x)Cr_xO₄, and Cr₂O₃. Steam oxidation produces a dual layer, containing Fe₂O₃-enriched porous outer layer and sub-surface matrix of Fe₃O₄/Fe_(3−x)Cr_xO₄ with SiO₂/Fe_(3−x)Si_xO₄. From these findings, we postulate the oxidation mechanism. Arrangement of oxidation products in air corroborates with anticipated diffusion behavior, except Cr₂O_3. However, arrangement in steam deviates due to presumably intergranular interactions with H₂O, resulting in the sub-surface matrix.
