High temperature oxidation behaviour of Fe-Al-C alloys: an overview

Carbide containing dual phase iron aluminide offers two-fold benefits; it posses high temperature strength and high resistance to probability of hydrogen embrittlement compared to single-phase iron aluminide. In this paper, we summarise the recent developments related to the oxidation behaviour of Fe-Al-C alloys. Emphasis is placed on the each variables of the system C, Al and temperature, and tried to differentiate the oxidation behaviour between Fe(3)A1/alpha and Fe3AlC phases while reviewing the oxidation resistance of Fe-Al-C alloys.
