The formation of voids in the oxide scale during high temperature oxidation is one of critical issues that leads to poor oxide scale adherence, fouling, spalling and materials loss, which affect substrate’s performance. Visual inspection is currently the sole way to detect corrosion process at high temperature environment. At room temperature, under the standard condition, cathodic protection has been successfully employed to monitor and control the corrosion. Understanding the development of voids in oxide scale is crucial to develop mitigation strategies and predictive maintenance. Thus, this study was intended to serve as a preliminary step to emulate the cathodic protection technique at high temperature. By polarizing the sample, it is postulated that it may affects the diffusivity of cation/anion in oxide scale, which is the rate determining step of the oxidation process. Ueda et al and Maruyama et al has shown that the difference in flux, or chemical potential of the oxygen species is the sole factor for the formation of void in oxide scale in controlled environment. In this study, the amount of voids present was measure directly on T91 alloys exposed at 823 K under various induced voltageT91 alloy which consists of Fe-9%Cr was externally induced with voltages of 0V, 50V and 300V for 43.2 ks, 259.2 ks and 432 ks at 923 K in air (\({P}_{{O}_{2}}\)) = 0.21 atm = 2.1 × 104 Pa). The presence of oxide layers was analysed using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and the void formed was inspected using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). XRD results reveal that peaks of Fe2O3, Fe3O4, FeCr2O3 and Cr2O3 were formed on all sample. The parabolic rate constant, Kp was calculated as 3.83 × 10–14 m2/s, 2.17 × 10–14 m2/s and 9.25 × 10–14 m2/s respectively, verifying that the reaction occurred was a solid state diffusion. Changes in Kp at different induced voltages is clear evidence that the diffusivity was altered by external electrical potential. It was observed that the overall void formation decreased by 17%. Apparently, inducing voltage onto T91 alloy effects the ionic diffusivity and changes the void formation. Conversely, it may be used to promote diffusivity of more inert species such as Cr to form protective layer at early stage of oxidation.
