Abstract

A new thermal cycling rig has been designed and built which provides the robustness to perform a wider range of thermal cycling tests under a range of possible atmospheres, temperatures, heating and cooling rates. Tests have been performed on a boiler steel using different thermal cycles to produce oxides scales which better reproduce those grown in service. These tests have shown that the combination of a relatively fast cycle time with a slow cool produces the best replication of service grown scale.
