Within the framework of a research aimed at characterizing the behaviour of new materials to pitting and crevice corrosion, an investigation has been made, using electrochemical techniques, of the following materials: ELI ferritic stainless steels (18 Cr-2 Mo-Ti; 21 Cr-3 Mo-Ti; 26 Cr-1 Mo); high chromium duplex stainless steel (Z 5 CNDU 21-08) and high chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steel (Z 2 CNDU 25-20); commercial austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304 L and 316 L) and laboratory heats of austenitic stainless steels with low contents of interstitials (LTM/18 Cr- 12 Ni, LTM/16 Cr- 14 Ni-2 Mo). It was possible to graduate a scale of resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in neutral chloride solutions at 40 C; in particular the two experimental austenitic stainless steels LTM/18 Cr- 12 Ni and LTM/16 Cr- 14 Ni-2 Mo are at the same level as the AISI 316 L and 18 Cr-2 Mo-Ti, respectively. An occluded cell was developed and used for determining the critical potential for crevice corrosion (Elocalized corrosion). For the steels under investigation Elocalized corrosion is less noble than Epitting especially for ELI ferritic 18 Cr-2 Mo-Ti and 21 Cr–3 Mo-Ti. 相似文献
The pitting corrosion resistance of AISI 444, 304L and 316L stainless steels in two tap waters with different chloride concentrations at 80 °C was studied. Cyclic potentiodynamic polarization (CPP) tests were carried out starting from Ecorr ? 30 mV until the current density reached 0.1 mA/cm2 (scan rate 0.166 mV/s); the scan was then reversed and continued until new passivity conditions were achieved. The corrosion potential was measured before the polarization experiments. From the E‐log i plots, the values of pitting and protection potential were obtained; from these potentials, the perfect and the imperfect passivity regions were defined to compare the corrosion resistance of the studied steels. CPP tests were performed both on as received stainless steel samples and on samples submitted to different cleaning–passivation treatments to improve their corrosion resistance. The results indicate that, for industrial production, AISI 444 stainless steel can substitute the more expensive AISI 304L or 316L after a cleaning–passivation treatment that reduces the presence of inclusions.
The corrosion mechanisms of T24, T92, VM12, and AISI 304 steels are studied under the influence of NaCl–KCl, NaCl–Na2SO4, and KCl–K2SO4 salt mixtures in a dry air atmosphere at 650°C for 15 days. NaCl–KCl was the most aggressive deposit and AISI 304 stainless steel exhibited the highest corrosion resistance. There was no relation between the Cr content of the ferritic steels and their corrosion resistance in NaCl–KCl. In contrast, the resistance of high-Cr steels was better when exposed to NaCl–Na2SO4 and KCl–K2SO4. The high-Cr and the low-Cr steels were more susceptible to NaCl–Na2SO4 and to KCl–K2SO4, respectively. 相似文献
An attempt was made to produce WC-iron silicide cladded layer on AISI 316L stainless steel by laser processing to obtain high hardness and lesser variations in hardness distribution in the layer. Different compositions of coating materials (WC, Si and Ni) and laser processing parameters were used. A good and defect free cladded layer of WC-iron silicide was obtained for an energy density of 22.5 J/mm2 and coating composition of 40WC-40Si-20Ni (wt.%). The layer exhibited average hardness of about 883 HV with lesser variations in the hardness distribution and also higher wear resistance compared to the substrate. 相似文献
Following the success of forming a carbon S-phase (expanded austenite) surface layer on medical grade Ni-free austenitic stainless steel by DC plasma carburising, the established commercial carburising process Kolsterising® was performed on both Ni-containing (AISI 304) and Ni-free austenitic stainless steels. While the Ni-containing stainless steel responded very well to Kolsterising®, the Ni-free alloy did not. The carbon absorption and the hardness of the Kolsterised® Ni-free alloy are inferior to Kolsterised® AISI 304 Ni-containing stainless steel, however, the hardness of the untreated Ni-free alloy was doubled by Kolsterising®. The response of both Kolsterised® Ni-free and Ni-containing alloys to pitting, crevice corrosion and intergranular corrosion resistance was similar. From this work it can be concluded that the Kolsterised® austenitic stainless steels do not suffer from intergranular corrosion but are susceptible to intragranular pitting when tested in boiling sulphuric acid and copper sulphate solution. It was also observed that Kolsterising® improves significantly the pitting and crevice corrosion resistance of the alloys used in this study. 相似文献
Low cost and good properties of low carbon steels introduce this material suitable for a wide variety of industrial applications. Developing overlays cladding with desired properties on the surface of these steels seems to be the best way to increase the corrosion and wear resistances of low carbon steels. In the present research, the solidification sequence and the characteristics of Al base weld cladding on AISI 1006 substrate were studied. The optical and scanning electron microscopic studies revealed the formation of acicular-like intermetallic compounds in the clad overlayer. XRD phase analysis illustrated that the clad layer consisted of ordered Fe3Al and FeAl3 intermetallic compounds in the FeAl intermetallic matrix. The formation of these intermetallics in the Fe–Al overlayer cladding resulted in a significant improvement of hardness and oxidation resistance of Fe–Al cladded samples. 相似文献
AbstractThe corrosion of austenitic stainless steels types AISI 304, 310 and 316, and of Inconel alloy, was studied at 25°c, in 5% NaCl solution at an initial pH value of 2·5, and in 5% FeCl3 at pH 1·2. The resistance of the alloys in both corrosive environments was in the order: 310 > 316 > 304 > Inconel. Pre-treatment of the specimens with bubbling chlorine gas increased the subsequent corrosion rates of the alloys. Intermittent bubbling of gas mixtures such as Cl2, N2, and/or H2S, increased the corrosion rate of Inconel alloy when Cl2 was present, but decreased the corrosion rate when H2 was present. Heat treatment of austenitic stainless steels increased the subsequent corrosion rates, whereas 16% pre-straining of annealed specimens slightly reduced the rates. Addition of trisodium phosphate to the corrosive solution reduced the corrosion rates and pitting tendency for all three types of austenitic stainless steel. 相似文献
This paper addresses the influence of Cu and Sn addition on the corrosion resistance of AISI 304 and 316 stainless steels in 30 wt% H2SO4 at 25 and 50 °C. The corrosion process was evaluated by gravimetric tests, DC measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The corrosion products were analysed by SEM, X-ray mapping and XPS before and after accelerated tests. The behaviour of both AISI 304 and 316 stainless steels in sulphuric acid solution was greatly improved by increasing Cu concentration and the synergic effect of Cu and Sn. Addition of Sn increased corrosion resistance, but less than addition of copper. 相似文献
The corrosion behaviour of laser surface cladding made from 304L stainless steel alloyed with varying concentrations of ruthenium in 1M HCl at 25°C was evaluated, fresh and after 12 hours, by electrochemical tests including open circuit potential and potentiodynamic polarisation scans. The ruthenium concentration in the 800?µm cladded layer varied from 0.82?wt-% to 4.67?wt-% ruthenium. The ruthenium doped samples were compared against a 304L stainless steel laser surface cladding with no ruthenium, 304L stainless steel samples with no laser cladding, 316L stainless steel, SAF2205 duplex stainless steel and Hastelloy C276®. Initial passivation was not observed in the 1M HCl but after 12 hours the addition of ruthenium led to reduced corrosion rates and improved passivation characteristics compared to the surface cladding without ruthenium. An optimum ruthenium range was observed between 3?wt-% and 5?wt-%. It was shown that at this optimum concentration, the ruthenium containing stainless steel clad on 304L stainless steel can compete commercially with the SAF2205 and Hastelloy C276® as long as the clad is 200?µm or less. 相似文献
The simultaneous deposition of Cr and Si into plain carbon, low-alloy, and austenitic steels using a halide-activated pack-cementation process is described. Equilibrium partial pressures of gaseous species have been calculated using the STEPSOL computer program to aid in designing specific processes for codepositing the desired ratios of Cr and Si into a given alloy. The calculations indicate that NaCl-activated packs are chromizing, while NaF-activated packs deposit more Si with less Cr. The use of a dual activator (e.g., NaF+NaCl) allows for the deposition of both Cr and Si in the desired amounts. Single-phase ferritic coatings (150–250 microns thick) with a surface concentration of 20–35 wt.% Cr and 2–4% Si have been grown on AISI 1018, Fe-2.25 Cr-1.0Mo-0.15C, and Fe-0.5 Cr-0.5 Mo-0.2C steels using packs containing a 90 wt.% Cr-10Si binary source alloy, a NaF+NaCl activator, and a silica filler. Two-phase coatings (approximately 75 microns thick) containing 20–25 wt.% Cr and 2.0–2.4% Si have been obtained on 304 stainless steel using packs containing a 90 wt.% Cr-10Si binary source alloy, a NaF activator, and an alumina filler. The same pack chemistry allowed the diffusion of Cr and Si into the austenitic Incoloy 800 alloy without a phase change. A coated Fe-2.25 Cr-1.0 Mo-0.15 C coupon with a surface concentration of Fe-34 wt.% Cr-3Si was cyclically oxidized in air at 700°C for over four months and 47 cycles. The weight gain was very low (<0.2 mg/cm2) with no scale spalling detected. Coated coupons of AISI 1018 steel, and Fe-0.5 Cr-0.5 Mo-0.2C steel have shown excellent oxidation-sulfidation resistance in reducing, sulfur-containing atmospheres at temperatures from 400 to 700°C and in erosion and erosion-oxidation testing in air at 650 and 850°C. 相似文献
