Observations on the role of oxide scales in high-temperature erosion-corrosion of alloys

The results are presented of exposure to a controlled high-temperature erosive gas stream of a series of alloys, which were selected to represent the range of microstructures and mechanical properties available in commercial high-temperature alloys. Analysis of the kinetic and morphological data suggested that the high-temperature oxidation behavior of a given alloy plays a very important role in determining its erosion-corrosion behavior under the conditions studied. In terms of relative behavior, alloys which are weak but ductile at temperature, and which form tenacious oxide scales, exhibited the highest resistance to high-temperature erosion-corrosion. Simple models were developed to describe the expected interaction between high-temperature oxidation and erosion.     

Evaluation of high Ni-Cr-Mo alloys for the construction of sulfur dioxide scrubber plants

Corrosion in wet lime/limestone systems used for flue gas desulfurization in thermal power plants is of great concern. The frequent variations in acidity and in chloride and fluoride ion concentrations experienced by such systems pose a serious threat to the materials of construction. Currently used materials mostly type 316L stainless steel often fail to meet their life expectancy. The present study evaluates the performance of advanced Ni- Cr- Mo alloys 59 and C- 276 in a simulated sulfur dioxide scrubber environment. Accelerated tests showed that high Ni- Cr- Mo alloys have little tendency to leach metal ions such as chromium, nickel, and molybdenum at different impressed potentials. Scanning electron microscopy was used to examine the morphology of pitting attack.     

High-temperature sulfidation of Fe-30Mo alloys containing ternary additions of Al

Fe-30Mo alloys containing up to 9.1 wt% Al were sulfidized at 0.01 atm sulfur vapor over the temperature range of 700–900°C. The sulfidation kinetics followed the parabolic rate law for all alloys at all temperatures. For alloys containing small and intermediate amounts of Al (<4.8 wt.%), a duplex sulfide scale formed. The outer layers of the scales were found to be relatively compact FeS in all cases; whereas the inner layers were composed of the layered compound MoS ₂ (intercalated with iron), the Chevrel compound Fe _x Mo ₆ S ₈,a spinel double sulfide Al _x Mo ₂ S ₄,depending on the Al content of the alloy and the sulfidation temperature. Extremely thin scales were found on the alloys with higher Al contents. Accordingly, extremely slow sulfidation rates were observed—even slower than the sulfidation rate of pure Mo. The transition of the sulfidation kinetics from a high-rate active mode to a low-rate passive mode requires both a critical Al content in the alloy and a critical Mo content. Because of the two-phase nature of the alloys, the latter requirement implies a critical volume fraction of the intermetallic second-phase in the alloy, which has been known as the multiphase effect. Interestingly, the multiphase effect in these alloys was also a function of the Al content in the alloys.     

A1-Li合金的拉伸断裂过程研究

以2090 Ce合金为研究对象，对不同时效时间的室温拉伸断口进行了半定量分析，探讨了拉伸性能对断裂特征的响应关系，重点分析合金分层裂纹的形成过程。研究表明：2090 Ce合金的断裂方式以韧窝、分层开裂和沿亚晶界开裂3种为主，随时效时间的延长，韧窝、分层开裂逐渐减少，沿亚晶界开裂比例逐渐加大：分层开裂程度与时效程度有密切关系：分层开裂过程与试样内部受力状态、晶界状态有密切关系。分层最先发生在试样中心，随后在二分之一、四分之一……处反复发生，最终将试样分割成一系列平行的薄板。时效后期由于亚晶界的弱化，使裂纹倾向沿亚晶界扩展，从而抑制分层开裂的发生，同时导致合金强度，尤其是塑性的下降。

The early stage oxidation and evaporation of Mg-9%Al-1%Zn alloy

Thermogravimetric technique was used to determine the oxidation and evaporation behaviour of AZ91D magnesium alloys with 5 and 10 ppm of beryllium at temperatures between 200 and 500 °C. Depending on temperature and time, the alloy experienced protective or non-protective oxidation with linear or accelerated oxide growth kinetics. During reaction in an oxidizing atmosphere, the additions of beryllium delayed the transient from the protective to non-protective scale formation. In an inert atmosphere, increased beryllium contents reduced the magnesium evaporation rate.
