Abstract
The effect of water vapor on oxidation behaviors of amorphous and crystalline Cu-Zr alloys has been comprehensively investigated. Compared with dry oxidation, water vapor retards the oxidation of amorphous Cu-Zr alloy by lowering internal ionic diffusion and leading to the formation of stable crystalline oxide layers. In contrast, water vapor accelerates the oxidation of crystalline Cu-Zr alloy 10 times by enhancing the activity and outward diffusion of Cu and promoting an unexpected synchronous oxidation of Zr and Cu. This study would change the perspective from focusing exclusively on the detrimental effect of water to considering its suppression on surface oxidation.
期刊介绍:
Corrosion occurrence and its practical control encompass a vast array of scientific knowledge. Corrosion Science endeavors to serve as the conduit for the exchange of ideas, developments, and research across all facets of this field, encompassing both metallic and non-metallic corrosion. The scope of this international journal is broad and inclusive. Published papers span from highly theoretical inquiries to essentially practical applications, covering diverse areas such as high-temperature oxidation, passivity, anodic oxidation, biochemical corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and corrosion control mechanisms and methodologies.
This journal publishes original papers and critical reviews across the spectrum of pure and applied corrosion, material degradation, and surface science and engineering. It serves as a crucial link connecting metallurgists, materials scientists, and researchers investigating corrosion and degradation phenomena. Join us in advancing knowledge and understanding in the vital field of corrosion science.
