The fabrication of SS 316L was carried out using selective laser melting (SLM). A Gaussian beam for laser energy dissemination was employed in SLM process to produce SS 316L specimens characterised by distinctive curved boundaries within the melt pool, resulting in a unique grain morphology featuring semicircular melt pool boundaries and layered patterns. The deep cryogenic soaking (DCS) process treatment, conducted at an ultra-low temperature of − 196 °C for an extended duration of 120 h immersed in liquid nitrogen medium, led to a significant improvement in the microstructure. An increased amount of fine-cellular grain microstructure was achieved, with an average grain size reduced from 1.01 ± 0.5 μm to 0.78 ± 0.5 μm. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that the DCS treatment did not alter the crystal structures, with both SLM and DCS specimens exhibiting the presence of the FCC-austenite phase. Surface roughness analysis indicated a noteworthy reduction following DCS treatment, with a 3.23% decrease in the average surface roughness (Ra) from 9.155 μm over the SLM SS 316L surface to 8.868 μm post-DCS exposure. Moreover, the mechanical properties exhibited substantial improvement, with SLM SS 316L samples having an average microhardness value of 193.16 HV, while DCS-treated samples exhibited an average microhardness value of 222.6 HV, marking a 15.24% enhancement attributed to grain structure refinement. XRD analysis also revealed peak broadening in DCS-treated specimens, suggesting the possibility of a more refined grain structure. This fine grain structure was found to hinder ion movement, resulting in a reduction in the corrosion rate from 0.004695 to 0.003965 mm/year.

Specifically, ingestion of calcium–magnesium–alumino–silicate (CMAS) or volcanic ash (VA) at elevated temperatures induce accelerated deterioration of conventional yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) TBCs. The ability to form an impervious and rapidly crystallizing rare earth-based apatite layer upon interaction with CMAS/VA salt favors the choice of rare earth zirconates (REZs) as novel TBCs. Among diverse REZs, Yb<sub>2</sub>Zr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub> (YbZ) exhibits ideal TBC characteristics. A detailed insight into YbZ coating characteristics and performance is vitally needed to qualify these materials for TBC applications. Accordingly, in this study indigenously developed YbZ and commercial YSZ were deposited by air plasma spraying. Subsequently, the VA infiltration resistance of deposited coatings was comprehensively compared up to 1350 °C. The SEM analysis of VA-infiltrated YSZ and YbZ coatings revealed the thickness of the infiltration zone and the corresponding mechanism. YbZ coatings displayed significantly better VA infiltration resistance attributed to forming an impervious Yb-apatite-based arresting layer and pinning the further seepage of the VA salt front. Besides, VA rapidly infiltrated YSZ coatings, which failed to form an arresting layer.

It is found that the higher the deformation temperature is, the better the plasticity of the oxide product is, and the better the deformation coordination between the oxidation product and the substrate, where the deformation mainly occurs in the FeO layer. The increase of Si content reduces the coordination of deformation between the oxidation product and the substrate, but it can improve the interface straightness. The crystal structure of the oxidation product determines its plastic deformation ability, and the deformation mechanism of FeO is determined by the dislocation slip and climb, and its plastic deformation ability is the best. The dislocation slip dominates the deformation mechanism of Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>, and the deformation ability is the second, and Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> has basically no plastic deformation ability.

In addition, the increase of Si content makes the concentration of iron ions in FeO close to the substrate side lower, which causes the increase of point defect concentration to promote the dislocation climbing of FeO, and makes the steady-state plastic deformation ability of FeO close to the substrate side higher, which improves the straightness of the interface between the oxidation product and the substrate.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":724,"journal":{"name":"Oxidation of Metals","volume":"101 3","pages":"529 - 548"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11085-024-10230-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140035739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
