A theoretical model and phase field simulation on the evolution of interface roughness in the oxidation process

An oxidation kinetics model is developed to account for the effects of the oxidation interface curvature and the oxidation-induced volume change or Pilling–Bedworth ratio. For the oxidation of Fe–Cr–Al–Y alloy fiber, the predictions agree well with experimental results. By considering the influence of the oxidation interface curvature on oxidation rates, the evolution of fluctuant oxidation interface is predicted. We also developed the phase field method (PFM) to simulate the evolution of the interface roughness. Both the theoretical model and the PFM results show that the interface will become smooth during high temperature oxidation. Stress distribution and evolution are calculated by PFM, which indicates that the stress level decreases as the interface morphology evolves.
