The annealing treatment could promote element diffusion and alloying; it was favorable to the densification and oxidation resistance of the coatings. There is a highly densified alloyed layer in the outer coating. The annealed coating showed excellent friction and wear resistance.

The oxidized annealed coating exhibited four layers, which included the thin Al2O3 oxide film, the homogenized alloyed layer, the composite layer consisted of Al2O3 and coarse Cr particles surrounded by alloyed layer, and the Al3Ti diffusion layer.

Tube failure was reported after 6‐year of working at 525°C–830°C in the form of visible longitudinal and transverse cracks. The microstructure was evaluated using optical and scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectrum analysis. The carbide phase transformation was determined by the method based on the matrix dissolution technique and X‐ray diffraction. The results of this study showed that the primary cause of the longitudinal crack formation is the local overheating and the oxidation of the dendritic grain boundaries. The M7C3 carbide transforms completely into the metastable M23C6 phase during high‐temperature service. Metallographic examinations revealed the shrinkage cavities and creep voids that are nucleated on both Cr‐ and Nb‐carbides. The continuous oxide layers of Cr2O3 and SiO2 formed near the inner and outer tube surfaces and the matrix's chemical composition near the outer tube surface was found to be depleted of Cr and C. Mechanical properties are irregular across the samples. A little margin of safety is noted, while the complete ductility dip is detected at room temperature.

The results of electrochemical measurements, the contact angle measurements, as well as the surface appearance of the specimens after the immersion in the inhibitive NaCl solution for 96 h confirmed that the new environmentally friendly inhibitor (Ce‐citrate) has a significantly higher protective ability than the Ce‐chloride.

The samples are then analyzed through X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy‐dispersive spectroscopy. S30432 is mainly oxidized under 650°C and 0.2% SO2 volume concentration, and the weight reduction is 6.6 mg cm−2. However, under 700°C and 0.3% SO2 volume concentration, severe sulfidation reaction occurs, sharply accelerating high‐temperature corrosion. As a result, weight reduction up to 41.8 mg cm−2 occurs. Although sulfidation reaction also occurs in TP310HCbN, there is no serious corrosion; the corrosion rate reduces in the later stages of the experiment, and a weight increase of 2.4 mg cm−2 is observed.

The purpose of this study was therefore to analyze the MAR‐M246 polycrystalline alloy in isothermal short‐term tests at 800°C and 1000°C for up to 240 h. Thermodynamic simulations were performed to evaluate the material's phase stability as a function of temperature and to assess the expected phases in response to oxygen pressure. The oxidized samples were characterized by SEM‐EDS and DRX, which revealed a tendency for scaling of oxidized material, particularly at temperatures of 1000°C. Nevertheless, protective layers of Cr2O3 and Al2O3 oxides were formed, which enabled the formation of fairly thin oxide layers, in addition to NiO and complex oxides. The region of the metallic substrate close to the oxide layer underwent aluminum depletion, causing the gamma‐prime phase to disappear, as well as formation of aluminum oxides and titanium nitrides. Last, a good correlation was found between the thermodynamic simulations and the oxides that were formed.","PeriodicalId":18223,"journal":{"name":"Materials and Corrosion","volume":"10 1","pages":"1236 - 1247"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82371313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
