TLDR
In this paper, a comparison of a range of commercial and model alloys, conventional austenitic steels do not have sufficient oxidation resistance with only ∼18Cr-10Ni, and higher alloyed type 310 stainless steel is protective but Ni is not a desirable alloy addition for this application.

Effect of Cr and Ni Contents on the Oxidation Behavior of Ferritic and Austenitic Model Alloys in Air with Water Vapor

TL;DR: Ferritic and austenitic model alloys with various contents of Cr and Ni ranging between 10−20% and 0−30%, respectively, were oxidized in air + 10% water vapor during 1 hr cyclic oxidation at 650°C and 800°C as discussed by the authors.
