Abstract: Oxidation mechanism of Super304H austenitic stainless steel was studied by high temperature oxidation test at 550-800 ℃ and combining with the law of oxidation kinetics. The results show that the oxidation mass gain curve of the Super304H austenitic stainless steel follows the parabola law at 550-800 ℃, the trend of mass gain is the most obvious within 60 h at 750-800 ℃, and the mass gain is up to 0.005 mg·mm-2 after 100 h. A dense oxide film is gadually formed at 550-750 ℃, which is mainly composed of Cr2O3 and Fe3-xCrxNiO4 mixed oxides and a small amount of CuCrMnO4. Increasing temperature makes the Super304H austenitic stainless steel promote the selective oxidation of Cr, and make the Cr2O3 protective film crack. At 800 ℃, the exposed Fe matrix reacts with oxygen atoms to form tumor Fe3O4, and the oxide film is thick and peels off. when strain rate is 3.2×10-4 s-1, the tensile strength of the stainless steel decreases with the increase of oxidation temperature, and reaches 350 MPa as the maximum at 600 ℃. The elongation is the best at 700-750 ℃, which is 28%.
