Abstract
Fe-17Ni-14Cr-3Al and Fe-17Ni-14Cr-3Si austenitic steels were exposed to liquid lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) with 10−6 wt% oxygen at 600°C for up to 6000 h. Severe dissolution pitting occurred in Al-modified steel, while Si-modified steel showed no such damage. Both steels underwent breakaway oxidation, forming oxide scales with localized internal oxidation zones (IOZs) composed of Fe-Cr spinel and network of Ni&Fe-rich phase. The Ni&Fe-rich phase in the Al-modified steel was completely dissolved by LBE, forming penetration channels into the matrix that accelerated corrosion. In contrast, the IOZ in the Si-modified steel remained intact, effectively resisting LBE ingress and ensuring superior corrosion resistance.
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.
