Abstract

By exploiting the strain dependence of the ruby luminescence line, we have measured the strain in alumina scales thermally grown on Fe-Cr-Al alloys. Results are compared, and found to be reasonably consistent with strains determined using x-rays. Oxidation studies were carried out on alloys with compositions Fe - 5 Cr - 28 Al and Fe - 18 Cr - 10 Al (at. %, bal. Fe). Significantly different levels of strain buildup were observed in scales on these alloys. Results on similar alloys containing a “reactive element” (Zr or Hf) in dilute quantity are also presented. Scales on alloys containing a reactive element (RE) can support significantly higher strains than scales on RE-free alloys. With the luminescence technique, strain relief associated with spallation thresholds is readily observed.
