HAYNES® 25 alloy exhibits good resistance to both air and combustion gas oxidizing environments, and can be used for long-term continuous exposure at temperatures up to 1800°F (980°C). For exposures of short duration, 25 alloy can be used at higher temperatures. Applications for which oxidation resistance is a serious consideration normally call for newer, more capable materials such as 230® alloy or HAYNES 188 alloy. This is particularly important at temperatures above 1800°F (980°C).

Oxidation Test Parameters
Burner rig oxidation tests were conducted by exposing samples 3/8 in. x 2.5 in. x thickness (9 mm x 64 mm x thickness), in a rotating holder, to products of combustion of No. 2 fuel oil burned at a ratio of air to fuel of about 50:1. (Gas velocity was about 0.3 mach). Samples were automatically removed from the gas stream every 30 minutes and fancooled to near ambient temperature and then reinserted into the flame tunnel.
