A fired heater tube that is resistant to
corrosion and
fouling is disclosed. The fired heater tube comprises an advantageous high performance coated material composition resistant to
corrosion and
fouling comprises: (PQR), wherein P is an
oxide layer at the surface of (PQR), Q is a
coating metal layer interposed between P and R, and R is a
base metal layer, wherein P is substantially comprised of
alumina,
chromia, silica,
mullite, spinels, and mixtures thereof, Q comprises Cr, and at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ni, Al, Si, Mn, Fe, Co, B, C, N, P, Ga, Ge, As, In, Sn, Sb, Pb, Sc, La, Y, Ce, Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Mo, W, Re, Ru, Rh, Ir, Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag, Au and mixtures thereof, and R is selected from the group consisting of low
chromium steels, ferritic stainless steels, austenetic stainless steels, duplex stainless steels,
Inconel alloys, Incoloy alloys, Fe—Ni based alloys, Ni-based alloys and Co-based alloys.
