Abstract: This article presents the results of a study of the hardness of porous permeable materials based on iron powder that have been thermally diffusion saturated simultaneously with chromium, aluminum and silicon in hermetically sealed containers, in two versions: - thermal diffusion saturation after sintering of compacted samples; and - thermal diffusion saturation simultaneously with sintering of compacted samples; scale resistance of the corresponding samples, two methods were used: - measurements of the electrical resistivity of the material the sample in intensive filtering process and - microstructural analysis, the obtained results of the analysis are the most resistant to scale, the sample has passed the thermodiffusion saturation with sintering.

A saturating medium consisting of a mixture of 40% Cr + 15% Al + 40% Al2O3 + 5% NH4Cl powders was prepared for the thermodiffusion saturation of the porous samples simultaneously with chromium and aluminum. Saturation of porous samples simultaneously with chromium and aluminum was carried out at a heating temperature of 1150 °C for 3 hours in a hermetically sealed container. In Fig. 1 shows scheme of a container with a hermetically sealed cover, porous samples and a saturating medium disposed therein.

The peculiarities of the structure of porous permeable materials do not allow the methods used to assess the scale resistance of non-porous materials to be used to assess the scale resistance of a porous material. The difficulty in determining the degree of oxidation of porous permeable materials is that in the pores of the porous body there remains the product of the interaction between the material and the medium. Attempting to remove oxidation products, blowing air or other methods from the entire branched surface of the porous material can lead to distortion of the true picture of the oxidative destruction of the porous material.
To assess the scale resistance of porous permeable materials, the measurement of the specific electrical resistivity of a porous material is most suitable [8]. This
method is based on measuring the specific electrical resistivity of a porous sample during a filtration process. In (Fig. 2) shows the scheme of the stand for testing cylindrical porous samples for scale resistance. The samples were tested in a mode of filtration of a mixture of air with water vapor heated to 600 °C. The hot air flow rate during the test was 0.25 m3/h.

SCALE RESISTANCE OF POROUS PERMEABLE MATERIALS BASED ON IRON AFTER THE THERMO-DIFFUSION SATURATION.,
As can be seen, in a diagram (Figures 3 and 3) under identical conditions of thermodiffusion saturation of pre-sintered and not sintered samples, the most resistant to oxidizing actions of heated air with water vapor turned out to be a porous sample in which the thermal diffusion saturation with chromium and aluminum was carried out simultaneously with sintering.
The relatively low scale resistance of a saturated after sintering sample is most likely due to the difficulty of penetrating the saturating gas into the central parts of the porous body. To clarify this, microstructure analyzes of the samples were carried out. In (Fig. 4) shows a micrograph of porous samples obtained on a microscope MIM 7 at 200 times magnification.

Microstructural analysis established that the thermodiffusion saturation of the pre-sintered sample occurs due to the passage of the saturating gas through the porous channels of the porous body (Fig. 4, a). In the initial stages of the process, the deposition of elements from the gas phase occurs in places with increased curvature of the surface of the walls of the pore channels. Because of the difference in the rates of entry of elements from the gas phase and their diffusion into the depth of walls of the channel, the pore diameter narrows. As a consequence, the access of the saturating gas into depth of the porous body is complicated. In connection with this, there is an inhomogeneous saturation of the thoroughbred body with elements of the gas phase.
The thermodiffusion saturation of unsintered samples occurs due to the passage of the saturating gas, along the surface of the compressed particles penetrating into the contact areas between the particles. In this case, the deposition of elements from the gas phase occurs mainly in contact areas between the particles. Due to the high rate of diffusion of the elements of the gas phase into the particle of the powder, there is no accumulation of elements that prevent the gas from entering the central parts of the porous body (Fig. 4, b). In connection with these, the porous body is uniformly saturated throughout the volume with chromium and aluminum, which ensures the best scale resistance of the samples.
