First-principles calculations explain the enhanced corrosion resistance of aluminized steel to molten Al-Si alloy for thermal energy storage
The service longevity of 321 steels as heat exchangers in concentrated solar power systems highly depends on their anti-corrosion performance against liquefied Al-Si alloys used for thermal energy storage. Therefore, given that aluminizing technique was found to improve the corrosion resistance 321 steels, the adsorption and inhibition mechanism of Si atoms on the crystallographic planes of different intermediate (Fe-Al) phases in surface aluminizing layer was calculated based on first-principles calculation to reveal the corrosion mechanism. The adsorption energy results showed that the most favorable adsorption sites for Si atoms are the hollow (H) site of each crystallographic plane. Meanwhile, the electron localization function and density of states indicated that the presence of Al atoms in the surface aluminizing layer could weaken the electronic interaction between Fe and Si, thereby delaying the corrosion rate of Si on the steel substrate. Consequently, aluminizing technique was capable of enhancing the corrosion properties of 321 steels in liquefied Al-Si alloy, which agree well with the experimental results. Therefore, this study could provide theoretical guidance for the anti-corrosion of the 321 steels for heat exchangers.
期刊介绍:
The goal of Computational Materials Science is to report on results that provide new or unique insights into, or significantly expand our understanding of, the properties of materials or phenomena associated with their design, synthesis, processing, characterization, and utilization. To be relevant to the journal, the results should be applied or applicable to specific material systems that are discussed within the submission.
