The oxide scale formed comprised a three-layer structure, similar to that formed on pure iron and low-carbon steel. For the high carbon steel, however, the scale was essentially a two-layered because of the low proportion of hematite (Fe2O3) formed. The scale thickness increased with the temperature and time of oxidation. The rate of scale thickening rapidly increased above 900 ℃, at which the rate was particularly fast in the first 20 s of oxidation. The proportion of wüstite (Fe1-yO) increased with time and temperature of oxidation, while the magnetite (Fe3O4) remained constant at about 2 μm.展开更多

In order to guarantee the surface quality, acid pickling is applied to remove the oxide scale while waste acid will do harm to the environment. Faced with the problem, by means of reduction process of hot-rolled plates, the oxide scale will be reduced to iron, so that acid pickling is unnecessary. One pass cold rolling procedure was applied. The compres- sion ratios of hot-rolled plates with oxide scale were 10%, 18%, 26% and 31%, respectively. After that, samples mentioned above including a sample without deformation were separately reduced under hydrogen atmosphere condi- tion (5 % H2 +95 % Ar in volume percent) at 600-1 000 ℃. The thermal gravimetric apparatus (TGA) was used to establish accurate experimental condition and obtain complete mass loss data. Field emission electron probe microa- nalysis (EPMA) was applied to analyze scale morphology change and composition distribution through the oxide scale. It was found that the sample with 26% compression ratio could be reduced completely at 900 ℃which was favorable to galvanization.展开更多

The fourth oxide scale formed under different conditions were classified and plotted. Because the oxide scale structure transformation is diffusion-controlled and the transformation law is similar to "C" curve, the eutectoid transformation nose temperature is 450 ℃. Under condition of low temperature and high cooling rate, ion diffusion behavior is restricted so that the eutectoid reaction is suppressed, resulting in that the fourth oxide scale is mainly made up of pre-eutectoid Fe304 and FeO without eu- tectoid products. From scale structure transition diagram, the eutectoid reaction process was affected by coiling temperature and cooling rate, leading to various scale structures.展开更多

Hot-rolled low carbon steel sheets are roiled with oxide scale in an experimental mill at room temperature, prior to annealing under a 20% hydrogen reducing atmosphere and galvanizing on a hot-dip galvanizing simulator. Micro-cracks formed in the oxide scale during cold rolling roughen the steel surface and enlarge the specific surface. Through-thickness cracks provide transport channels for hydrogen, and hence the reduction of oxide scale is en- hanced. When the sheet is dipped in the zinc bath, cracks are submerged by liquated zinc and the defects are not dis- tinct after hot-dip galvanizing. The overlay coating occludes with rough surface of the sheet, whereby a superior coat- ing adherence is realized.展开更多

Focused ion beams and scanning electron microscopy were used to observe the morphologies of oxide scales on the surface and cross sections of the hot-rolled steel. Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction were used for the phase analysis of the oxide scales and corrosion products. The corrosion potential and impedance were measured by anodic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. According to the results, oxide scales on the hot-rolled strips mainly comprise iron and iron oxides. The correlation between mass gain and test time follows a power exponential rule in the damp-heat test. The corrosion products are found to be mainly composed of γ-Fe OOH, Fe3O4, ?-Fe OOH, and γ-Fe2O3. The contents of the corrosion products are different on the surfaces of the steels with and without oxide scales. The steel with oxide scales is found to show a higher corrosion resistance and lower corrosion rate.展开更多

In the testing of oxidation resistance, the oxidation process of the alloy specimens during the testing at 900℃ for 500 h was examined by oxidation weight gain method. The morphology and composition of the oxide scales were determined using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The effects of the transferring of ions and electrons on the oxidation resistance were further analyzed microscopically by semiconductor oxide models. The results show that the composite oxide scales consist of Cr203, SiO2 and spinel- type oxide MCr204, with flat and compact structure, and fine grains in uniform distribution. All of these endow the superalloy K273 with strong oxidation resistance. The reason for the powerful oxidation resistance of the composite scale is that the formation process of P+N type semiconductor oxide enables to consume most of the surplus negative and positive ions in the oxide scales, which makes the number of the mobile ions and electrons dropped enormously, and the transfer rate of them falls heavily. So the oxidation rate of the metal phase in the alloy matrix is reduced significantly.展开更多

The growth rates were found to be ap proximately parabolic and the calculated activation energy of TTS443M steel is much higher than those of the two other steels. For 45 and 20CrMnTi steels, the scale layers were looser and a distinct gap formed at the scale-sub strate interface at higher strand surface temperature. The dominant phases within the scale were iron oxides except for FeO · Cr2O3 phase simuhaneously existing in the oxide scale of 20CrMnTi steel. On the other hand, the scale layer formed on TTS443M steel was compact and tightly attached to the steel surface. At both lower and higher strand surface temperature, iron oxide was main phase in external layer of the scale, while chromia was dominant in inner layer with an appreciable Cr enrichment.展开更多

The thin films with thickness ranged from 100 nm to 300 nm basically show cubic structures with a=0.3886 nm, the same as that of the raw material used, but the structures are highly modulated. C-AFM results revealed that the atomic scale p-n junction feature of the thin films was the same as that of the single crystals. The preparation of the thin films thus further confirms the possibility of their application extending from micrometer-sized single crystals to macroscopic thin film.展开更多

The experiments were carried out by two cooling methods, one cooled by water, the other cooled by oil–water emulsion. The results of wet/dry cyclic accelerated corrosion test showed that the anti-rust property of rebar cooled by oil–water emulsion was better than that by water obviously. The results of OM, SEM and EPMA analysis indicated that these two scales contained three layers: an outer Fe_3O_4 layer, an intermediate Fe O layer with island-shaped pro-eutectoid Fe_3O_4, an inner eutectoid Fe_3O_4 layer. For the water cooled rebar, all three layers of oxide scale were relatively thin. Moreover, the scale had plenty of defects such as porosity, and crack. However, for the oil–water emulsion cooled rebar, all three layers of oxide scale were relatively thick and compact, which played an important role in protecting the rebar from atmospheric rust.展开更多

It was proposed that the oxide scales and coatings with a composite structure should possess superior mechanical properties than that with a single phase oxide. It also showed that the A1203 scales or coatings doped with 3(203 and ZrO2 (or YSZ)-A1203 composite coatings possessed superior properties at high temperatures. In such composite oxide scales and coatings, the fracture resistance of the scales was increased by the toughening effect, the thermal stress was decreased owing to the increase of thermal-expansion coefficients, and A1203 phase could seal the alloy substrate well In addition, the kinetic equation of thermal growth oxide on alloy covered with composite oxide coatings was derived.展开更多

Thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) was used to simulate isothermal oxidation process of SPHC for 240 min under air condition, and the temperature range was from 500 to 900 ℃. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to observe cross-sectional scale morphology and analyze composition distribution of oxide scales. The morphology of oxide scale was classical three-layer structure. Fe2 03 developed as whiskers at the outermost lay- er, and interlayer was perforated-plate Fe3 04 while innermost layer was pyramidal FeO. From the oxidation curves, the oxidation mass gain per unit area with time was of parabolic relation and oxidation rate slowed down. On the ba- sis of experimental data, the isothermal oxidation kinetics model was derived and oxidation activation energy of SPHC steel was 127. 416 kJ/mol calculated from kinetics data.展开更多

摘要The oxide scale present on the feedstock particles is critical for inter-particle bond formation in the cold spray(CS)coating process,therefore,oxide scale break-up is a prerequisite for clean metallic contact which greatly improves the quality of inter-particle bonding within the deposited coating.In general,a spray powder which contains a thicker oxide scale on its surface(i.e.,powders having high oxygen content)requires a higher critical particle velocity for coating formation,which also lowers the deposition efficiency(DE)making the whole process a challenging task.In this work,it is reported for the first time that an artificially oxidized copper(Cu)powder containing a high oxygen content of 0.81 wt.%with a thick surface oxide scale of 0.71μm.,can help achieve an astonishing increment in DE.A transition of surficial oxide scale evolution starting with crack initiations followed by segmenting to peeling-off was observed during the high velocity particle impact of the particles,which helps in achieving an astounding increment in DE.Single-particle deposit observations revealed that the thick oxide scale peels off from most of the sprayed powder surfaces during the high-velocity impact,which leaves a clean metallic surface on the deposited particle.This makes the successive particles to bond easily and thus leads to a higher DE.Further,owning to the peeling-off of the oxide scale from the feedstock particles,very few discontinuous oxide scale segments are retained at inter-particle boundaries ensuring a high electrical conductivity within the resulting deposit.Dependency of the oxide scale threshold thickness for peeling-off during the high velocity particle impact was also investigated.

摘要The influence of oxide scales on the corrosion behaviors of B510 L hot-rolled steel strips was investigated in this study. Focused ion beams and scanning electron microscopy were used to observe the morphologies of oxide scales on the surface and cross sections of the hot-rolled steel. Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction were used for the phase analysis of the oxide scales and corrosion products. The corrosion potential and impedance were measured by anodic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. According to the results, oxide scales on the hot-rolled strips mainly comprise iron and iron oxides. The correlation between mass gain and test time follows a power exponential rule in the damp-heat test. The corrosion products are found to be mainly composed of γ-Fe OOH, Fe3O4, ?-Fe OOH, and γ-Fe2O3. The contents of the corrosion products are different on the surfaces of the steels with and without oxide scales. The steel with oxide scales is found to show a higher corrosion resistance and lower corrosion rate.
摘要A Si-containing K273 superalloy was made using intermediate frequency induction furnace in the study. In the testing of oxidation resistance, the oxidation process of the alloy specimens during the testing at 900℃ for 500 h was examined by oxidation weight gain method. The morphology and composition of the oxide scales were determined using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The effects of the transferring of ions and electrons on the oxidation resistance were further analyzed microscopically by semiconductor oxide models. The results show that the composite oxide scales consist of Cr203, SiO2 and spinel- type oxide MCr204, with flat and compact structure, and fine grains in uniform distribution. All of these endow the superalloy K273 with strong oxidation resistance. The reason for the powerful oxidation resistance of the composite scale is that the formation process of P+N type semiconductor oxide enables to consume most of the surplus negative and positive ions in the oxide scales, which makes the number of the mobile ions and electrons dropped enormously, and the transfer rate of them falls heavily. So the oxidation rate of the metal phase in the alloy matrix is reduced significantly.

摘要C-rowth rate, microstructure and phase composition of scale layer formed during oxidation in 56 % H2O9%O2 N2 and following continuous cooling in ambient air were experimentally investigated by means of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) for 45, 20CrMnTi and TTS443M steels respectively, to examine the effects of strand surface temperature and steel composition on the scale formation in simulated continudus casting process. The growth rates were found to be ap proximately parabolic and the calculated activation energy of TTS443M steel is much higher than those of the two other steels. For 45 and 20CrMnTi steels, the scale layers were looser and a distinct gap formed at the scale-sub strate interface at higher strand surface temperature. The dominant phases within the scale were iron oxides except for FeO · Cr2O3 phase simuhaneously existing in the oxide scale of 20CrMnTi steel. On the other hand, the scale layer formed on TTS443M steel was compact and tightly attached to the steel surface. At both lower and higher strand surface temperature, iron oxide was main phase in external layer of the scale, while chromia was dominant in inner layer with an appreciable Cr enrichment.
摘要Test alloys ZG40Cr24 with alloying of 3 wt%aluminium were cast by intermediate frequency induction furnace.The oxidation resistance of test alloys at 1000℃for 500 hours was examined according to oxidation weight gain method.The scale morphology and composition were studied using scanning electron microscope(SEM)and X-ray diffraction(XRD)respectively.By energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS)studies,a kind of composite oxide scale compounded highly by Cr2O3,Al2O3 and spinel MCr2O4 in molecule scale came into being at high temperature.With flat and compact structure,fine and even grains,such composite scale granted complete oxidation resistance to alloy ZG40Cr24.The oxidation resistance mechanism was studied deeply in electrochemistry corrosion.The P+N semiconductor composite scale composed plenty of inner PN junctions,of which the unilateral conductive and the out-of-order arrangement endowed itself insulating in all directions.The positive and negative charges in scale could not move,and the mobile number and transferring rate of them both dropped enormously,as a result,the oxidation rate of the matrix metal was cut down greatly.So the composite scale presented excellent oxidation resistance.

摘要The well completion process in oil and gas industry,aiming to build effective exploitation,is divided into acidizing and formation water production process.Oxide scale(OS)formed on the inner wall of the HP-13Cr stainless steel tubes during the hot extrusion process changes the surface roughness.The effects of OS on the corrosion of HP-13Cr stainless steel during well completion process were studied by corrosion measurement,spectra analysis,microscopic observation and numerical simulation.The results indicate that the OS make no change of phase distribution and element composition of corrosion scale,while the increasing OS roughness is the dominant factor for accelerating corrosion rate during the well completion process.In acidizing process,the greater surface roughness OS of HP-13Cr stainless steel increases the corrosion rate obviously due to a larger interfacial area in contact with the aggressive environment.During subsequent formation water production process,the turbulence eddy,formed at locations characterized with greater surface roughness OS,can deteriorate the corrosion scale and accelerate the mass transfer of the corrosive species,resulting in more serious corrosion.

摘要Thin films of perovskite manganese oxide Lao.66Ca0.29K0.05MnO3(LCKMO) on Au/ITO(ITO=indium tin oxide) substrates were prepared by off-axis radio frequency magnetron sputtering and characterized by X-ray diffrac- tion(XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM), and conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) at room temperature. The thin films with thickness ranged from 100 nm to 300 nm basically show cubic structures with a=0.3886 nm, the same as that of the raw material used, but the structures are highly modulated. C-AFM results revealed that the atomic scale p-n junction feature of the thin films was the same as that of the single crystals. The preparation of the thin films thus further confirms the possibility of their application extending from micrometer-sized single crystals to macroscopic thin film.

摘要A method was proposed to improve the anti-rust property of hot rolled rebar, which uses oil–water emulsion cooling instead of water cooling after hot rolling. The experiments were carried out by two cooling methods, one cooled by water, the other cooled by oil–water emulsion. The results of wet/dry cyclic accelerated corrosion test showed that the anti-rust property of rebar cooled by oil–water emulsion was better than that by water obviously. The results of OM, SEM and EPMA analysis indicated that these two scales contained three layers: an outer Fe_3O_4 layer, an intermediate Fe O layer with island-shaped pro-eutectoid Fe_3O_4, an inner eutectoid Fe_3O_4 layer. For the water cooled rebar, all three layers of oxide scale were relatively thin. Moreover, the scale had plenty of defects such as porosity, and crack. However, for the oil–water emulsion cooled rebar, all three layers of oxide scale were relatively thick and compact, which played an important role in protecting the rebar from atmospheric rust.

摘要The present paper discussed some fundamental aspects on composite oxide scales and coatings for protection of alloys from high temperature oxidation, the related thermodynamic conditions, special mechanical characteristics and a sealing mechanism. It was proposed that the oxide scales and coatings with a composite structure should possess superior mechanical properties than that with a single phase oxide. It also showed that the A1203 scales or coatings doped with 3(203 and ZrO2 (or YSZ)-A1203 composite coatings possessed superior properties at high temperatures. In such composite oxide scales and coatings, the fracture resistance of the scales was increased by the toughening effect, the thermal stress was decreased owing to the increase of thermal-expansion coefficients, and A1203 phase could seal the alloy substrate well In addition, the kinetic equation of thermal growth oxide on alloy covered with composite oxide coatings was derived.

摘要The corrosion behavior of Q370qNH steel in the presence and absence of hot-rolled oxide scale in simulated industrial atmospheric environment was studied by dry/wet cycle accelerated corrosion experiments.The experimental results show that the corrosion type of bare steel is uneven overall corrosion and large size pitting corrosion in small areas;that of oxide scale sample is local dissolution corrosion and small size pitting corrosion in large areas,and corrosion rate is much smaller than that of bare steel.The corrosion products of both steels are composed ofα-FeOOH,γ-FeOOH,Fe2O3,and Fe3O4,but the formation mechanism is different.The bare steel generatesα-FeOOH andγ-FeOOH through“acid regeneration cycle mechanism”;the oxide scale sample generates hydroxides mainly through the gradual dissolution of the oxide film,and then through“the acid regeneration cycle mechanism”.With the extension of corrosion time,the electrochemical stability of the sample with oxide scale increases,but the change of tafel curve of bare steel sample is not obvious.In simulated industrial atmosphere,the existence of hot-rolled oxide scale can facilitate the formation of dense rust layer on the surface of Q370qNH steel,which is more protective than bare steel.

摘要The oxidation kinetics and composition of oxide scales on low carbon steel (SPHC) were studied during i- sothermal oxidation. Thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) was used to simulate isothermal oxidation process of SPHC for 240 min under air condition, and the temperature range was from 500 to 900 ℃. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to observe cross-sectional scale morphology and analyze composition distribution of oxide scales. The morphology of oxide scale was classical three-layer structure. Fe2 03 developed as whiskers at the outermost lay- er, and interlayer was perforated-plate Fe3 04 while innermost layer was pyramidal FeO. From the oxidation curves, the oxidation mass gain per unit area with time was of parabolic relation and oxidation rate slowed down. On the ba- sis of experimental data, the isothermal oxidation kinetics model was derived and oxidation activation energy of SPHC steel was 127. 416 kJ/mol calculated from kinetics data.
