Abstract

Focused ion beam tomography has been employed in the study of pore morphology in spinel oxide formed on Grade 91 steel exposed to high-temperature steam for 1, 24 and 100 hours under laboratory settings and at 91 kh in-service. The pores, also termed voids, exhibited a higher degree of connectivity than was expected and are likely to make a significant contribute to the prevailing mass transport mechanism across the scale. A mechanism for the formation of these voids and their relationship to other microstructural features is discussed.
