Effect of molybdenum addition on oxidation behavior and secondary protection mechanism of FeCrAl coatings

FeCrAl alloy coatings are widely used for their excellent oxidation resistance at high temperatures, but they can suffer from rapid material degradation due to breakaway oxidation of the coating. Composition manipulation is an essential way to prompt the oxidation resistance of the coatings. These results provide a deeper understanding of the effect of Mo addition on the oxidation behavior and underlying protection mechanisms of FeCrAl coatings, and can be beneficial for designing and developing materials for use in oxidation environments.
