The Influence of Plastic Processing on the Corrosion Resistance of the Alloy Based on the FeAl Intermetallic Phase After Long-Term Oxidation in Air Atmosphere

-based scale. Plastic processing significantly affected oxidation kinetics, resulting in higher mass gain compared to the as-cast condition. Despite differences in mass gain, the average oxide-scale thickness after 2000 h remained in the submicrometric range (~340 nm) for both states. Surface topography analysis revealed differences in roughness and morphology associated with the material condition. The results demonstrate that plastic processing influences oxidation behavior primarily through microstructural modification, while the protective character of the alumina scale remains preserved. These findings provide data relevant to FeAl-based materials considered for high-temperature energy applications.
