Corrosion behaviour of four high temperature engineering materials exposed to landfill gas engine flue gas

Abstract

Four engineering materials commonly used in high-temperature applications were exposed to landfill gas engine flue gas for 25 days at 411°C. The flue gas was composed mostly of nitrogen and oxygen, although some carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons were detected together with low concentrations of hydrogen chloride gas and sulphur oxides. Hydrogen fluoride was not analysed, but, due to the nature of the fuel, may have been present at low levels. The materials tested were a carbon steel, a low alloy steel, a 12%Cr stainless steel and an austenitic stainless steel. Thin, protective films were formed on the 12%Cr and austenitic stainless steels, however, the corrosion products formed on carbon and low-alloy steels consisted of several layers, the outermost of which were extremely friable and non-adherent, especially on cooling from the flue gas working temperature. The maximum corrosion rate obtained was 70 μm yr^–1 for carbon steel, which may be acceptable for a number of flue gas applications. The exposed coupons were examined using conventional techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The predominant scale formation mechanism controlling the corrosion appeared to be simple oxidation type reactions, however, the influence of HCl, as evidenced by the presence of akaganeite (β-FeO(OH)), was hypothesised. A model describing the corrosion mechanism is proposed in order to provide an improved life prediction capability for such flue gas environments.     

NaCl-induced accelerated oxidation of 304 stainless steel and Fe-Mn-Al alloy at 900°C

The high-temperature corrosion behavior of cold-rolled and annealed 304 stainless steel (304SS) and Fe-29Mn-8Al-2.5Si-2Cr-0.74C alloy coated with 0.002 g cm^–2 NaCl initially were studied at 900°C in air. The corrosion kinetics of the two alloys follow the parabolic rate law. The initial NaCl coating accelerates oxidation of these alloys by oxychlorination and chlorination/oxidation cyclic reactions, and catalytic actions of chloride or chlorine are thought to be the principal causes. A bulky, layered scale as well as some intergranular attack is noted on the annealed 304SS, and intergranular attack distributes over the alloy substrate of the cold-rolled 304SS during a 144 h exposure. With the formation of a compact Al₂O₃ scale to decrease further chlorine attack, the corrosion resistance of Fe-Mn-Al alloy is superior to that of 304SS in this study.     

Corrosion resistance of the layers formed on the surface of plasma-nitrided AISI 304L steel

Austenitic stainless steels have good corrosion resistance, but their low hardness and low wear resistance limit their use whenever surface hardness is required. Nitriding treatments have been successfully applied to stainless steels to improve their mechanical and tribological properties; however, at temperatures above 723 K, gas or salt bath nitriding processes decrease the corrosion resistance due to the formation of CrN and other phases within the modified layer. Chromium compounds draw chromium and nitrogen from the adjacent regions, degrading the corrosion resistance. The plasma nitriding technique permits the use of treatment temperatures as low as 623 K without promoting degradation in the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. In this work, the pulsed glow discharge (PGD) technique was used for nitriding steel (AISI304L) in order to investigate the effect of the temperature of this treatment in the morphology and, as a consequence, in the anodic behavior of the formed layers, in solution with and without chloride ions. Four different temperatures were employed (623, 673, 723, and 773 K). The samples were characterized by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), microhardness measurements, and electrochemical tests with potentiodynamic anodic polarization curves. The nitriding temperature alters the anodic behavior due to a displacement of the polarization curve towards higher currents, in a solution free of chloride ions. In a chloride solution, the nitriding temperature increases the pitting potential up to the oxygen evolution region.

原子力显微镜评价奥氏体不锈钢晶间腐蚀敏感性的研究

由13Cr可焊马氏体不锈钢(WMSGSS)制造的油气管线由于价格便宜,相对于昂贵的耐腐蚀合金来说是一个很有竞争力的选择。但是实验室试验和现场经历表明,13Cr马氏体不锈钢焊接接头热影响区发生了沿晶应力腐蚀开裂(IGSCC)。对于低等级的马氏体不锈钢来说,沿晶应力腐蚀开裂机理被认为是在晶界的碳化物附近存在贫铬区。对于中等级和高等级马氏体不锈钢来说,只在实验室试验发现有应力腐蚀开裂。它们的应力腐蚀开裂机理还没有明确,虽然最可能的应力腐蚀开裂机理也被认为和低等级马氏体不锈钢的应力腐蚀开裂机理类似。原子力显微镜(AFM)已开始广泛用于材料显微组织和环境敏感断裂的研究中。高等级马氏体不锈钢焊接接头对晶间腐蚀/应力腐蚀开裂敏感性很有希望由原子力显微镜检测到。在原子力显微镜技术应用于这项研究之前,用由304不锈钢准备的不同敏化度的试样来确定它的适用性是十分有益的。本文用原子力显微镜研究了不同敏化程度的304不锈钢的晶间腐蚀敏感性并和SEM和EDS结果进行了对比。     

Gap-free fibre laser welding of Zn-coated steel on Al alloy for light-weight automotive applications

As a result of new policies related to global warming announced by the European Union, avoiding unnecessary energy waste and reducing environmental pollution levels are becoming a major issue in the automotive industry. Accordingly, the lap welding of Zn-coated steels process, which is commonly used for producing car doors, has been gradually developed to lap welding of Zn-coated steel to light materials, such as Al alloy, Mg alloy and composite materials, in order to effectively reduce the vehicle weight. In certain part of car manufacture, organic glues are used to temporally join the Zn-coated steels and Al alloys before permanent welding takes place. The stability of such temporary joining by glues needs improving. Laser “stitching” or low strength welding could be considered as an alternative. However, challenges exist in joining Zn-coated steel on Al alloy by laser welding, due to significant differences of material properties between the two welding materials. Porosity, spatter and intermetallic brittle phases are readily produced in the weld. In this study, the effects of welding speed, laser power, number of the welding passes and type of shielding gas in gap-free welding of Zn-coated steel on Al alloy were investigated using a 1 kW single mode continuous wave fibre laser. Results show that a weld with higher shear strengths in the laser stitching application and less intermetallic phases could be obtained when nitrogen gas was used as the shielding gas. The corrosion resistance and the surface finish of the weld could be improved in double pass welding, especially when argon gas was used as the shielding gas.

Study of the characteristics and corrosion behavior for the Zr-based metallic glass thin film fabricated by pulse magnetron sputtering process

Two sets of source target which consist of ZrCuAlNiV and ZrTiAlNiV, respectively were selected as the target materials for preparing a series of thin film coatings on the 304 stainless steel substrate by DC pulse magnetron sputtering process. The microstructures of these as-prepared ZrCuAlNiV and ZrTiAlNiV thin films were examined by X-ray diffraction and TEM observation. In parallel, the characteristic analysis of these ZrCuAlNiV and ZrTiAlNiV alloy thin films including surface roughness, and corrosion resistance were analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM), and tested by electrochemical method as well as salt spray testing, respectively. The results showed that the ZrCuAlNiV thin film exhibits a typical amorphous microstructure and smooth surface with average roughness about 1 nm. The ZrCuAlNiV thin film performs similar corrosion resistance to 304 stainless steel according to the result of salt spray testing in 5% NaCl solution. Additionally, the AC impedance value of ZrCuAlNiV is 20 times than 316L stainless steel and 4 times than ZrTiAlNiV, implying that the ZrCuAlNiV thin film has better corrosion resistance than the others owing to its amorphous state.

Failure prevention by short-time corrosion tests

Short-time corrosion testing of perforated sheets and wire meshes fabricated from type 304L stainless steel, alloy 600, and C276 showed that 304L stainless steel perforated sheet should perform well as the material of construction for dissolver baskets. The baskets will be exposed to hot nitric acid solutions and are limited-life components. The corrosion rates of the other alloys and of wire meshes were too high for useful extended service. Test results also indicated that corrosion of the dissolver should drop quickly during the dissolutions due to the inhibiting effects of the corrosion products produced by the dissolution processes.

Influence of the microstructure on the corrosion resistance of plasma‐nitrided austenitic stainless steel 304L and 316L

Austenitic stainless steels are widely used in medical and food industries because of their excellent corrosion resistance. However, they suffer from weak wear resistance due to their low hardness. To improve this, plasma nitriding processes have been successfully applied to austenitic stainless steels, thereby forming a thin and very hard diffusion layer, the so‐called S‐phase. In the present study, the austenitic stainless steels AISI 304L and AISI 316L with different microstructures and surface modifications were used to examine the influence of the steel microstructure on the plasma nitriding behavior and corrosion properties. In a first step, solution annealed steel plates were cold‐rolled with 38% deformation degree. Then, the samples were prepared with three kinds of mechanical surface treatments. The specimens were plasma nitrided for 360 min in a H₂–N₂ atmosphere at 420 °C. X‐ray diffraction measurements confirmed the presence of the S‐phase at the sample surface, austenite and body centered cubic (bcc)‐iron. The specimens were comprehensively characterized by means of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, surface roughness and nano‐indentation measurements to provide the formulation of dependencies between microstructure and nitriding behavior. The corrosion behavior was examined by potentio‐dynamic polarization measurements in 0.05 M and 0.5 M sulfuric acid and by salt spray testing.

A study of breakaway oxidation of 9Cr–1Mo steel in a Hot CO2 atmosphere using Raman spectroscopy

Abstract

The microstructure of the oxide scale and parent metal in ferritic 9Cr–1Mo steel was observed to explore the oxidation and carburisation mechanisms upon exposure to a CO₂ gas environment at high temperature and high pressure. An experimental 9Cr–1Mo steel sample that had been oxidised at 580 °C for more than 165,000 hrs in coolant gas consisting primarily of CO₂ was analysed. To elucidate the oxidation characterisation, scanning Raman spectrometry was used to analyse the oxide close to the metal/oxide interface. Carbon was found to be deposited in the spinel layer. The microstructure and the distribution of elemental chemical composition were examined and analysed using optical and scanning electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive X-ray analysis. The results are discussed with relation to understanding the mechanisms of oxidation and carburisation which aim to underpin extension of the service life of components fabricated from this steel.     

The abrasive corrosion behavior of plasma-nitrided alloy steels in chloride environments

Both corrosion and abrasive corrosion behavior of plama-nitrided type 304 and 410 stainless steels and 4140 low alloy steel were investigated in 3% NaCl solution (pH = 6.8) by electrochemical corrosion measurements. Surface morphology and alloying elements after corrosion and abrasion corrosion tests were examined by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive analysis of X-rays. The results indicated that the plasma-nitrided SAE 4140 steel containing -(Fe,Cr)_{2 – 3}N and -(Fe,Cr)₄N surface nitrides which produce a thick and dense protective layer exhibited a significant decrease of corrosion currents by inhibition of the anodic dissolution of iron, whereas the plasma-nitrided type 304 and 410 stainless steels containing the segregation of chromium nitride CrN exhibited a extensive pitting corrosion by acceleration of the anodic dissolution of iron. It is concluded that the susceptibility to pitting is consistent with the degree of chromium segregation, and decreases as follows: 304 stainless steel > 410 stainless steel > 4140 steel. Also, the results of abrasive corrosion testing for the plasma-nitrided alloys are strongly related to the subtleties of the nitrided microstructures resulting in a pitting and spalling type of abrasive corrosion of type 304 and 410 stainless steels, and excellent abrasive corrosion resistance for SAE 4140 steel.     

Effect of zinc phosphate chemical conversion coating on corrosion behaviour of mild steel in alkaline medium: protection of rebars in reinforced concrete

Abstract

We outline the ability of zinc phosphate coatings, obtained by chemical conversion, to protect mild steel rebars against localized corrosion, generated by chloride ions in alkaline media. The corrosion resistance of coated steel, in comparison with uncoated rebars and coated and uncoated steel rebars embedded in mortar, were evaluated by open-circuit potential, potentiodynamic polarization, cronoamperometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The coated surfaces were characterized by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. First, coated mild steel rebars were studied in an alkaline solution with and without chloride simulating a concrete pore solution. The results showed that the slow dissolution of the coating generates hydroxyapatite Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂. After a long immersion, the coating became dense and provided an effective corrosion resistance compared with the mild steel rebar. Secondly, the coated and uncoated steel rebars embedded in mortar and immersed in chloride solution showed no corrosion or deterioration of the coated steel. Corrosion rate is considerably lowered by this phosphate coating.
