Microstructure, smoothening effect, and local defects of alumina sol-gel coatings on ground steel
(2017)
Porous alumina films with thicknesses of a few microns were prepared via a dip-coating technique on steel P92. The coating is shown to protect the steel against massive corrosion, which is typical in the hot reactive environment of coal fired power plants. To mimic real conditions ground steel plates were coated with a boehmite-sol. This leads to an overall smoothing of the formerly rough surface. In the following short annealing step the inner porous construction with worm-like particles consisting of nano-crystallites and amorphous alumina is formed. Due to the simultaneous diffusion of chromium and iron ions out of the bulk steel material into the porous alumina coating, a dense interface with satisfactory adhesion is formed. However, the film exhibits few local defects like cracks or dense alumina nodules caused by steep edges in the ground surface or agglomeration of boehmite-sol components, respectively. Cracks especially have to be avoided. This problem can be overcome so far by slight modifications in the sol preparation process and surface treatment of the substrates. Nevertheless the results demonstrate the potential of sol-gel based alumina coatings as a time- and cost-saving protection type for commercial steel P92.
Thermal-mechanical fatigue of oxide scales in cyclic water vapor oxidation of 9-12 % Cr steels
(2017)
Ferritic-martensitic steels with 9-12 % Cr-content are widely used as high temperature construction materials in power plant due to their high temperature properties such as creep resistance, strength, and favorable oxidation resistances. However, typical operating conditions include cyclic thermal/mechanical loading, and as a result the oxide scale might fail; cracks are formed and the oxide scale is spalled off. The oxide spalls can cause steam tube blocking and local thermal stresses, which might provoke shorter component service life.
This work investigates the scale spallation behavior of ferritic-martensitic steels under cyclic load condition between 320°C and 620°C for up to 210 cycles in pure steam. All samples were isothermally pre-oxidized at 620°C for 500 h in water steam with 30 bar pressure to create an initial magnetite layer with low porosity. Different sample shapes, rectangular coupons, full rings and U-shape segments, are investigated to evaluate the impact of the geometry on these conditions. After oxidation experiments the oxidation kinetics in terms of mass change, metal loss and thickness scale is determined. In addition, the integrity of the oxide layer as well as its adherence to the matrix are characterized by modified hardness tests and scratch tests. Breakage of the layers at lower applied forces indicates a substantial loss of adhesion strength at intermediate cycle numbers.
This work investigates the distribution of Chromium and Cobalt as well as other elements and their effect on the corrosion scale formation of ferritic-martensitic alloys under single and dual conditions. For this purpose, coupons of technical VM12-SHC alloy and model Fe-13Cr alloy were annealed at 600°C for 960 h in artificial flue gas. This kind of experiment represents the classical single condition corrosion test. To realize dual condition, an experimental setup was designed in such way that each face of the specimens could be in contact with a different atmosphere.
In this presentation the comparison between single and dual conditions will be evaluated in terms of phase composition of the scale and material loss. Preliminary results show clear deviations between both conditions in the distribution of chromium, as well as the diffusion outward of cobalt in the technical alloy.
