Influence of Cr on reduction behavior of rust formed on low alloy steels in flowing 3. 5% NaCl solution

The reduction behavior of rust layer formed on carbon steel and on Cr- containing steels was investigated in flowing 3. 5mass% NaCl solution via potentiodynamic polarization curve, EPMA, XRD, and XPS. The results show that the weight loss of Cr- containing steels is lower than that of carbon steel. Fe3+ in the rust layer participated in the cathodic reaction with the corrosion process. Cr concentrated in the inner rust layer formed on the experimental steels, and exited in the form of Cr3+. This concentration behavior of Cr increases the corrosion potential of experimental steels and decreases the amount of Fe3O4 in the inner rust layer. Inhibition of reduction of rust results in a decrease of corrosion of metal. Moreover, inhibition of rust reduction suppresses the reduction reaction of oxygen, owing to the decrease of conductivity of rust layer. Therefore, the corrosion resistance of experimental steels can be improved by suppressing the cathodic reaction in flowing 3. 5 mass% NaCl solution.     

Surface Oxidation of the High-Strength Steels Electrodeposited with Cu or Fe and the Resultant Defect Formation in Their Coating during the Following Galvanizing and Galvannealing Processes

This study examined the surface oxidation of high-strength steels electrodeposited with Cu or Fe and the resultant defect formation in their coating during the following galvanizing and galvannealing processes. The high-strength steels were coated with an Cu or Fe layer by the electroplating method. Then, the coated steels were annealed in a reducing atmosphere, dipped in a molten zinc, and finally transformed into galvannealed steels through the galvannealing process. The formation of Si and Mn oxides on the surface of the high-strength steel was effectively suppressed, and the density of surface defects on the galvanized steel was significantly reduced by the pre-electrodeposition of Cu and Fe. This effect was more prominent for the steels electrodeposited at higher cathodic current densities. The finer electrodeposit layer formed at higher cathodic current density on the steels enabled the suppression of partial surface oxidation by Mn or Si and better wetting of Zn on the surface of the steels in the following galvanizing process. Furthermore, the pre-electrodeposited steels exhibited a smoother surface without surface cracks after the galvannealing process compared with the untreated steel. The diffusion of Fe and Zn in the Zn coating layer in the pre-electrodeposited steels appears to occur more uniformly during the galvannealing process due to the low density of surface defects induced by oxides.     

Influence of Oxide Morphologies on Galvanizability of Third Generation Automotive Steel

Focusing on improving the galvanizability of the third generation automotive steel, the effect of surface ox ide morphologies on the galvanizability was studied. The results show that the surface oxide types of sample steels by X ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） analysis after annealing in different conditions are the same. Only MnO, MnO2 and Cr2O3 were detected and no complex oxide exists on the surface. Morphologies of surface oxides can greatly influence the galvanizability of the third generation automotive steel. Nodule-like oxide surface can contribute to better wettability and inhibition layer than vitreous film like oxide surface. Galvanized panels of nodule-like oxide surface steels only show pinhole sized bare spots, while panels galvanized from vitreous film-like oxide surface steels reveal larger areas of bare spots and uncoated areas. Inhibition layer observed in galvanized panels of nodule-like oxide surface steels is compact but not homogeneous; some inhibition layer grains are fine, and others are coarse, while the inhibition layer grains of panels galvanized from vitreous film-like oxide surface steels have a non-compact morphology with some particularly fine equiaxed crystals which developed deficiently.

Investigation of Corrosion Behavior of Borided Gear Steels

In this study, corrosion behaviors of GS18NiMoCr36 (GS 18) and GS32NiCrMo6.4 (GS 32) gear steels borided in Ekabor-II powder at the temperature of 950 °C for 2 and 6 h were investigated in a 6 % M HCI acid solution. The boride layer was characterized by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction technique and the Micro-Vickers hardness tester. X-ray diffraction analysis of boride layers on the surface of the steels revealed the existence of FeB, Fe₂B, CrB and Cr₂B compounds. The thickness of the boride layer increases by increasing boriding time for gear steels. The hardness of the boride compounds formed on the surface of the steels GS 18 and GS 32 ranged from 1,728 to 1,905 HV_0,05 and 1,815 to 2,034 HV_0,05 respectively, whereas Vickers hardness values of the untreated steels GS 18 and GS 32 were 335 HV_0,05 and 411 HV_0,05, respectively. The corrosion resistance of borided gear steels is higher compared with that of unborided steels. The boride layer increased the corrosion resistances of gear steels 4–6-fold.

硅对贝氏体铸钢高应力冲击磨损性能的影响

研究了不同硅含量（0．7％－2．4％,质量分数,下同）贝氏体铸钢的抗高应力磨损性能和失效机制。结果表明：高效硅贝氏体铸钢的耐磨性能较低硅钢显提高,其磨损失重约是低硅贝氏体铸钢的1．2,这是因为硅使氏体铸钢在高应力冲击磨损下表现出不同的失效机制。低硅（0．7％）贝氏体铸钢由于韧性低、组织结构粗大及树枝晶的微区成分偏析,故材料抵抗冲击的能力很低,常在表面还未形成强烈变形层（白层）甚至变形层时,就在变形层和材料基体内产生裂纹并扩展,故低硅贝氏体铸钢的失铲方式为变形层和基体剥落机制。而硅含量为1．65－2．4％的高硅贝氏体铸钢,因脆性的渗碳体被韧性的残余奥氏体所代替,钢的韧性显提高,失效方式表现为白层的剥落机制。     

Cr对低合金钢在流动NaCl溶液中耐蚀性的影响

含砷/铜砷C-Mn钢的高温氧化行为

利用热重分析仪、扫描电镜和电子探针研究了含As或者Cu+As的C-Mn钢的高温氧化特性.1050℃氧化初期约500 s内,As钢和Cu-As钢为线性氧化阶段,随后转为抛物线氧化,两种钢的抛物线氧化速率均高于C-Mn钢.因氧化层分离,1150℃氧化增重小于1050℃氧化增重.钢中Cu和As的存在促进了固相Fe₂SiO₄层的生长.由于As在氧化层/基体界面的富集,1050℃氧化时,As钢中存在明显的条带状内部氧化粒子层;C-Mn钢中加入Cu和As后,其氧化层/基体界面变得崎岖不平,内部氧化粒子的数量随着氧化时间及氧化温度的增加而增加.1050℃氧化时氧化层/基体界面处Cu和As的富集程度高于1150℃氧化.     

Resistance of 9–20%Cr-steels against metal dusting

The metal dusting resistance of various 2¼ Cr to 20%Cr steels has been tested in flowing CO-H₂-H₂O atmospheres at 525, 560, 600 and 650°C. For the 2¼Cr-steel immediately a constant rate of metal wastage is reached, for the high alloy steels the approach to this rate where all surface area is attacked, is more or less retarded by an oxide layer. The formation of a protective Cr-rich oxide layer is favoured by a high Cr-content of the steels, by the ferritic structure, by a fine-grained microstructure, by surface working and by high temperatures – these factors hinder or suppress metal dusting, whereas low Cr-concentration, austenitic structure, coarse-grained microstructure, removal of surface deformation by etching and a critical temperature of ≤ 600°C accelerate and enhance metal dusting.
