Improved wetting of bare and pre-coated steels by aqueous alumina sols for optimum coating success
(2010)
Alumina coatings are a promising candidate for
the protection of metals prone to high temperature corrosion.
If applied via sol–gel process, especially by using so
called aqueous modified Yoldas-sols, the deposition is
hardened by differences in surface free energy of substrate
and sol. In this paper the apparent surface properties of
samples to be coated and sols were examined by contact
angle measurements, IR-spectroscopy and tensiometry.
The results imply, after consideration of possible uncertainties,
the use of surface tension reducing 2-butanol
already present during hydrolysis of the sols to obtain an
easy and successful coating process.
Inconel 718 was spin coated twice and fourfold with a sol to obtain 200- and 400-nm-thick transition alumina films on the surface. Bare and solgel alumina-coated Inconel 718 samples were exposed to NaCl solution to study their corrosion behavior by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. In combination with scanning electron microscopy, it was shown that bare Inconel 718 is after initial passivation prone to pitting corrosion. For the coated Inconel 718 samples, an improvement in the protective effect of the coatings with time was observed. This observation is in contradiction to the results of other authors who observed degradation of alumina coatings exposed to NaCl solution with time. Transmission electron microscopy revealed a formation of (1) a compacted region at the coating surface as well as (2) a chromium-rich region at the interface between coating and alloy during the contact with a NaCl solution. The last one mainly contributes to the observed chronological sequence of electrochemical characteristics of the samples.
Many technologies have been developed to take advantage of geothermal energy, which became a feasible energy source to replace fossil fliel supply. Nevertheless, Service conditions in geothermal facilities are due to the Chemical composition of hydrothermal fluids and involved high temperatures, in many cases, extreme in terms of corrosion. Therefore, materials selection based on preliminary material qualification is essential to guarantee a secure and reliable Operation ofthe facilities.
This contribution deals with the evaluation of the corrosion behavior of two high-alloyed metallic materials and a-A1203 in an artificial geothermal fluid simulating the conditions in the Northern German Basin, a location with high geothermal potential. The suitability of the super austenitic stainless Steel, alloy 31, and the nickel base alloy 59 in this geothermal fluid obtained by electrochemical measurements and exposure tests is addressed. As an alternative to the suitable but costly alloy 59 that showed excelient corrosion resistance against pitting corrosion, ceramic made of a-A1203 represents an interesting possibility for selected components to be used in the construction of geothermal facilities.
The need for a more efficient coal power plant generation (e.g. oxyfuel technology) results in modified process parameters and enhanced corrosion. To reach the necessary service life of high temperature parts protective coatings may be a sufficient technical solution. A modified Yoldas sol (Al2O3 based) was used to coat X20CrMoV12-1 by spin coating. After appropriate heat treatments transition alumina coatings being about 400 nm thick were obtained. Oxidation studies were carried out in laboratory air at temperatures up to 650 °C for up to 500 h exposure time. In case of the uncoated sample a rough oxide layer formed on the surface and a remarkable weight gain (2.62 mg/cm²) were detected. The sol–gel alumina layer (mainly δ-Al2O3) demonstrated a high protection, i.e. a very low weight gain (0.05 mg/cm²). Diffusion of alloying elements into the coating was observed. No indication of spallation of the coating occurred. Local defects (2 µm–30 µm) in the coating led to the formation of iron-oxide islands.
Corrosion resistance of high-alloyed and alternative materials in an artificial geothermal water

Therefore, materials selection based on preliminary material qualification is essential to guarantee a secure and reliable operation of the facilities.
This contribution deals with the evaluation of the corrosion behavior of two high-alloyed metallic materials and α-Al2O3 in an artificial geothermal fluid simulating the conditions in the Northern German Basin, a location with high geothermal potential. The suitability of the super austenitic stainless steel UNS N08031 and the nickel base alloy UNS N06059 in this geothermal fluid obtained by electrochemical measurements and exposure tests is addressed. As an alternative to the suitable but costly UNS N06059 that showed excellent corrosion resistance against pitting corrosion, ceramic made of α-Al2O3 represents an interesting possibility for selected components to be used in the construction of geothermal facilities
Future coal power plants will in case of oxyfuel combustion be operated with altered atmospheres. Hence, corrosion attack might become more severe and steels have to be protected. An alumina-sol was used to coat X20CrMoV12-1 (X20) with alumina to test the protection. Testing was performed at 600 °C in flowing H2O–CO2–O2 and static laboratory air for 1000 h. Oxidation under air is minor compared to exposure in oxyfuel atmosphere. In both cases a multilayered oxide (hematite, magnetite, spinel) was formed on uncoated steels. Carburization appeared on uncoated X20 in H2O–CO2–O2. The coating demonstrates a high protection.
Porous ceramics prepared by the foam replication technique have a high porosity and low mechanical stability. It has been reported that coating such porous ceramics with gelatin allows for an improved compressive strength. Little details regarding the influence of important gelatin parameters such as concentration, temperature and drying conditions as well as bloom number which is a measure of the gel rigidity, on this toughening effect are available. This paper investigates the influence of these parameters on compressive strength of gelatin coated porous hydroxyapatite ceramics. It was found that concentration in the gelatin sols has a marked impact whereas sol temperature, bloom number and differing conditions during subsequent drying have only little influence on the compressive strength of the coated ceramics.
