Popis: The erosion-corrosion (E-C) behavior of SA213-T22 steel has been studied in a laboratory fluidized-bed (FB) facility in the temperature range from 100 to 600 °C. Tests were carried out on pin specimens in air using alumina particles of 560 µm average size at impact velocities from 1.5 to 4.5 m/s. The trends of wear with temperature showed small weight gains at velocities up to 1.5 m/s. Erodent deposition was a dominant process at temperatures below about 300 °C and velocities below about 2 m/s. At higher velocities, a peak wastage temperature was observed at about 350 °C. The wastage/temperature curves observed in both cases suggested four temperature regions. In each region, a different E-C regime operates. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed various wastage mechanisms, i.e., (a) oxide chipping, (b) development of a compact and adherent oxide scale, (c) oxide and metal removal, and (d) fracture and spalling within the oxide layer and at the scale/metal interface. In the present study, the latter mechanism was responsible for the high wastage rates observed at temperatures above about 450 °C and impact velocities above 3.5 m/s.
