Abstract
To understand the role of Si in the formation of composite oxide films, the corrosion behavior of XSi9Cr (X = 0, 0.4, 0.7, 1.0 wt%) ferritic/martensitic (F/M) steels was investigated in static oxygen-saturated lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) at 550 °C for 1000 h. As the Si content increased from 0 to 1.0 wt%, the total thickness of the oxide films decreased by ∼27 %, which is primarily attributed to that SiO2 promoted the nucleation of Fe-Cr spinel and enhanced the densification and adhesion of the oxide films. In addition, δ-ferrite precipitated in 0.7Si9Cr and 1.0Si9Cr F/M steels improved its corrosion resistance by forming dense Cr-rich oxide films on δ-ferrite owing to its higher Cr content and lower defect density. The effect mechanism of Si on microstructure and corrosion behavior of XSi9Cr F/M steel is also discussed.
