Exhaust manifolds for diesel engines are made of high-Si ferritic nodular cast irons. It is experimentally well established that their oxidation kinetics are highly sensitive to the presence of water vapor, though the mechanism for such an effect is still controversial. In the present work, isothermal oxidation tests were performed on a SiMo nodular cast iron at 700°C and 800°C in dry and humid air for 25 and 50 hours. Other samples were oxidized for 50 h with in-situ change in H2O content after 25 h, switching from dry air to humid air or the other way round. Samples were then analyzed using XRD, SEM-EDS and Raman spectroscopy. Thermogravimetric records clearly showed the effect of temperature and environment on oxidation and decarburization. The kinetics of these phenomena depends on silica formation at the metal-oxide interface. At both temperatures, water vapor was seen to promote internal oxidation of Si instead of its external oxidation. This leads to higher oxidation kinetics at 700°C and higher decarburization kinetics at 800°C.
