The crystallization and reaction paths for oxide and sulfide formation were followed in-situ by energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDXRD) in an early stage of corrosion (30 s – 24 h). For this technique, high energetic white synchrotron X-ray radiation (10-100 keV) was used as radiation source. Diffraction pattern were collected continuously in an early stage of corrosion up to 24 h during the complete ageing experiment. The crystalline phases, growing on top of the coupons, were identified directly via their specific dhkl values. The evolution of the extracted integral intensities of specific reflections of the corrosion products as a function of time access direct information about the kinetics of the nucleation and growth. The results presented here show for iron with 2 wt% Cr wuestite formation first. Wuestite vanishes after 10 min of reaction only and magnetite and hematite appear. Magnetite formation proceeds simultaneously with sulfide formation. Sulfides growth proceeds after an incubation time, which differs for low alloyed (2 wt% Cr) and high alloyed (9 wt% Cr) material.

Neben mechanischen Beanspruchungen stellt die chemische Belastung durch das Vorhandensein von aggressiven und korrosiven Medien (SO2, CO2, O2, H2O…) bei hoher Temperatur einen Schlüsselfaktor dar, der die Langlebigkeit der Materialien im Einsatz beeinflusst. Neben konventionellen, mikroskopischen Analyseverfahren bieten röntgenbasierte Techniken Möglichkeiten, die Grenzflächenreaktionen zwischen dem Werkstoff und den Medien während der chemischen Belastung (in situ) zu untersuchen. Neuartige Einblicke in die zugrunde liegenden Prozesse der Schädigungsmechanismen werden anhand von klassischen ferritischen Legierungen beschrieben. Das Verständnis von Schlüsselfaktoren zur Induzierung eines Schutzmechanismus ist insbesondere für die Entwicklung von neuartigen Materialklassen wie Hochentropie- und chemisch komplexe Legierungen notwendig. Erste Einblicke in Schädigungsmechanismen durch Gaskorrosion dieser innovativen Materialsysteme werden vorgestellt.

All technologies have in common that the applied materials are exposed to different temperatures, process pressures and reactive atmospheres that lead to a change of the material properties and a further degradation of the material. Material changes caused by aging in highly corrosive and toxic gases such as SO2 are mainly studied ex situ after the reaction is finished. The solid material is deposited in the atmosphere for a certain period of time, and material changes are then examined by various microscopic techniques such as optical microscopy (OM), electron microprobe analysis (EMPA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM and TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Nevertheless, extensive efforts were made to study material changes of high temperature alloys under oxidizing and reducing atmospheres by environmental scanning electron microscopy or in situ TEM techniques However, the possibilities of microscopic in situ techniques are very limited for the use of highly corrosive and toxic gases such as SO2. Since Sulfur induced corrosion at temperatures relevant for coal and biomass fired power plants, which is causing breakaway oxidation and sulfide precipitation at grain boundaries, is still of scientific interest, the current work focuses on the effect of SO2 in an initial stage of corrosion of ferritic alloys. For the analysis of early stages of combined oxidation and sulphidation processes of Fe-Cr model alloys the usage of a light furnace to conduct a rapid reactive annealing experiment is feasible. Previous studies presented distinct results of the influence of chromium on early high temperature corrosion by SO2 by this technique and subsequent classical metallographic analyses. However, it is still not possible to trace the corrosion mechanism in real time by conducting single aging experiments. The current work introduces two different approaches to study the initial stages of high temperature oxidation processes by applying above state of the art X-ray diffraction and spectroscopy methods. One part focuses on the real time observation of the formation of corrosion products such as oxides and sulfides by energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDXRD). The potential of this technique to study crystallization and growth processes of thin films in a reactive environment in real time was previously shown for different compound semiconductors. This approach was now applied to follow oxidation and sulphidation processes of ferritic model alloys in SO2 and SO2/H2O environments. The diffraction signals of the X-rays were detected during the corrosion process and the peak area and positions were analyzed as a function of time. This procedure enables monitoring external oxide growth and material loss in real time in an early stage of corrosion. The other part of the current work presents the possibilities of X-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy (XANES) to characterize oxide scales and their growth mechanisms. Precise phase identification and quantification of corrosion products in a multi-phase oxide/sulfide scale is a pre-requisite to understand diffusion paths of metal ions and gas components. It is a challenging task to distinguish structurally similar reaction products such as Fe3O4 and FeCr2O4 especially in thin films with texture effects by diffraction. To illustrate for example Cr-out diffusion of an alloy throughout an inner and external oxide scale the differentiation of Fe3O4 and FeCr2O4 is indispensable. XANES uses the photoionization effect at the metal absorption edge in an aging product and accesses by this structural and chemical information. The current work uses XANES at the Fe-K and Cr-K absorption edge to identify various aging products grown as thin layers on alloys after short time aging experiments. A reaction chamber for combining high temperature oxidation experiments with surface sensitive X-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy will be introduced and first results of XANES on scales at high temperatures will be presented.
