Abstract

Synchrotron x-rays are used for in situ determination of oxide strain, during oxide formation on a Kanthal Al FeCrAlZr substrate at 1160°C. The measurements rely on use of high-energy (∼80keV) xrays and transmission geometry, and the methodology of the strain measurements is presented. Oxide growth strains at elevated temperature, relative to pure alumina, were seen to be small, while temperature excursions induced significant strains. Furthermore, significant strain relaxation was observed during isothermal holds, suggesting oxide creep as a major relaxation mechanism. Upon cooling to room temperature, significant residual strains developed, with a corresponding in-plane residual stress of-3.7 GPa.
