Novel austenitic steel of which composition is Fe­20Cr­30Ni­2Nb (at%) is one of the promising material for further advanced steam power plants, which will be operated at 973K or higher temperature such as 1073K. This steel is strengthened by intermetallic compounds and has creep rupture strength 80MPa at 973K for 105 h. Further investigations are needed to improve both creep rupture strength and steam oxidation resistance of the steel for application at 1073K. This paper focuses on steam oxidation resistance of the steel at 1073K. Steam oxidation has been conducted to clarify microstructure development of the oxide scale and to evaluate long-term steam oxidation resistance based on the kinetic data. Microstructure observation reveals that Cr2O3 layer is easy to form at the scale/steel interface compared with the commercial austenitic steels, because the transition from internal to external oxidation has finished within about 20 ks. Surface oxygen potential measurement by using oxygen concentration cell is also useful technique to detect Cr2O3 formation in the scale. Based on the kinetics data, this steel has a good steam oxidation resistance compared with the commercial austenitic steel such as type 316 steel and is applicable to further advanced steam power plants.
