阻氚用Fe-Al渗铝层表面稳态相Al2O3膜生长机理研究

为阐释Fe-Al渗铝层表面暂态相Al₂O₃膜向稳态相α-Al₂O₃膜的转变机理，探索稳态相α-Al₂O₃膜制备的氧化工艺参数范围，采用掠入射角X射线衍射仪、辉光放电光谱仪、聚焦离子束、透射电镜等，结合热重分析对CLAM钢基体Fe-Al渗铝层在940～980 ℃、1 Pa～20 kPa参数下的氧化生长行为进行了深入表征与机理分析。研究结果表明，在1 Pa～20 kPa氧分压范围内Al₂O₃膜生长初期反应速率常数随着氧分压的升高而增大，而后期反应速率常数反而随之下降；采用掠入射角X射线衍射仪对3～180 min氧化不同时期表面Al₂O₃膜的相结构进行了掠入射角分析，推测Al2O3膜的生长经历了从氧化初期形成暂态相γ-Al₂O₃（15 min）→过渡态相α-（Al_0.948Cr_0.052）₂O₃（30 min）→稳态相α-Al₂O₃（120～180 min）的演变过程，最短相转变时间约60～90 min，连续Al₂O₃膜厚度约2 000 nm；同时，结合聚焦离子束对30、120 min形成的Al₂O₃膜表面进行了精确定向切割制样，并采用透射电镜选区电子衍射分析验证了相转变前Al₂O₃膜结构为过渡态相α-（Al_0.948Cr_0.052）₂O₃（113），转变后为稳态相α-Al₂O₃（113），证实了Cr作为第三组元促进暂态相向稳态相α-Al₂O₃的转变规律。

Investigation of Stable Al2O3 Scale on Fe-Al Aluminized Coating for Tritium Barrier

It is well known that α-Al₂O₃ phase has stablility performance, high permeation reduction factor and good resistance performance in liquid LiPb, which is considered as the reference tritium barrier coating in future fusion reactor. In order to study the formation mechanism of stable α-Al₂O₃ scales on fusion structure material, the oxidation behavior of Fe-Al aluminized coating on China Low Activated Martensitic （CLAM） steel was investigated under the oxygen partial pressure from 1 Pa to 20 kPa at the temperature of 940-980 ℃. The Al₂O₃ scales were analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis meter, grazing angle X-ray diffractometer, glow discharge spectrometer, focused ion beam and transmission electron microscope. A single continuous Al₂O₃ scales with the maximum thickness of about 2 000 nm was formed on the diffusion Fe-Al aluminized layer. Thermogravimetric analysis results show that the higher oxidation rate constant is achieved while increasing the oxygen partial pressure, and then oxidation rate constant decreases. The phase transformation of Al₂O₃ scales on the surface of Fe-Al aluminized coating was studied during different oxidation time ranges from 3 min to 180 min. The metastable γ-Al₂O₃ and α-（Al0.948Cr0.052）₂O₃ phases is formed in the earlier oxidation process and finally transformed to stable α-Al₂O₃ phase. The features of the transient α-（Al0.948Cr0.052）₂O₃（113） and α-Al₂O₃（113） were detected by GXRD and then confirmed by focused ion beam and transmission electron microscope.
