The long-term oxidation resistance of various commercial alloys is being evaluated for industrial heat exchangers intended to operate at 900°-1100°C. At higher temperatures, many chromia-forming alloys have limited lifetime due to high rates of metal consumption and alumina-forming alloys are being considered.
