A way to increase the application range and the lifetime of metallic substrates is their protection by coatings. Here the effect of alumina coatings on common steel substrates having different Chromium content is examined. The background of the investigations is to expand the application possibilities of mechanically good steels to higher temperatures and corrosive atmospheres in the framework of the European project POEMA (“Production of Coatings for New Efficient and Clean Coal Power Plant Materials”) which was introduced to identify materials that can withstand the aggressive conditions arising during the oxyfuel process in modern coal power plants. This process is one possibility to reduce the CO2 emission by firing the coal in oxygen and recirculated flue gas.
Substrate materials were P92 (9% Cr), K44X (19% Cr), and HR3C (25% Cr). The alumina coatings were deposited by a sol-gel-process using boehmite, this is relatively simple and offers application possibilities for a wide technical range without special surface preparations. All samples were dried for 30 minutes at 650° C to remove the organic components and to start the crystallization process of the alumina. For P92 and HR3C the following conditions simulated the oxyfuel process: 650°C in wet flue gas for 300h for the steel P92, the same conditions for 2000 hours for the steel HR3C. K44X was tested at 900°C in laboratory air for 500 hours. As well after drying as after testing TEM characterizations were performed, where the interfaces between steel and coating are of special interest to characterize the microstructure, detect failure mechanisms, and identify diffusion and crystallization processes and so to understand the mode of action of the alumina coating.
The TEM samples were prepared by the lift-out-technique using a FIB Quanta 3D and were investigated in a STEM JEM2200FS at 200kV.
After the coating and drying process all steels show chromium oxide layers directly at the steel surface, they vary in thickness and are island shaped in the case of the steel K44X. Chromium depletion arose more or less in the superficial zones of all samples. After the long term tests K44X showed breakaway oxidation while P92 and HR3C presented intact interfaces. This reveals: Beside the positive impact of the coating not only the Chromium content of a substrate is essential for the formation and self-healing of protective chromium oxide layers during the service time of steels. One has to consider the possibility of the steel to allow a continuously Cr diffusion to the interface and so e renewal of the Cr-oxide layer.
In Kohlekraftwerken mit Oxyfuel-Technologie erfolgt die Verbrennung unter Zufuhr von reinem Sauerstoff. Damit steht für die Abscheidung und Speicherung von CO2 ein Rauchgas mit hohem CO2-Anteil zur Verfügung (CCS-Technologie). Aufgrund dieses Verbrennungsprozesses ändert sich im Wesentlichen die Rauchgaszusammensetzung hin zu hohem H2O- und SO2 -Anteil. Deshalb wurden in verschiedenen Laboratorien kommerzielle Kraftwerksstähle unter den entsprechenden korrosiven Bedingungen getestet. Im Vergleich zur herkömmlichen Verbrennungsmethode zeigten die ferritisch-martensitischen Stähle schon nach 1000 h Auslagerungszeit unter Oxyfuel-Bedingungen eine durch einen deutlich erhöhten Materialverlust gekennzeichnete Korrosion. Eine Möglichkeit um dennoch die Lebensdauer dieser Stähle zu gewährleisten, besteht im Aufbringen geeigneter Schutzschichten auf die Stahloberfläche. Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Herstellung und Bewertung von Sol-Gel-Aluminiumoxidschichten als Schutz vor Korrosion in Oxyfuel-Rauchgas-Atmosphäre. Diese wurden auf den warmfesten Stahl X20CrMoV12-1 (X20) mittels der Tauchmethode aufgebracht. Anschließend erfolgte eine Auslagerung der beschichteten Proben für 1000 h bei 600 °C in einer H2O-CO2-O2-SO2 -Atmosphäre.
Im Vergleich zum unbeschichteten Stahl X20 war der Materialverlust des beschichteten Stahls deutlich geringer. Insbesondere konnte durch die Aluminiumoxidschicht der Transport von CO2 und SO2 zur Stahloberfläche verhindert werden.

The paper presents the microstructure, chemical and phase composition of thin scale, obtained as a result of high temperature corrosion of X20Cr13 stainless steel. Samples were exposed to gas atmosphere of the following composition: 0.25 vol.% of SO2 and 99.75 vol.% of Ar at 600 °C for 5 h. As a consequence, thin compact scale was formed on steel surface.
This scale consisted of three different zones. An amorphous zone was formed close to steel surface. Then, nanocrystalline Zone could be observed. Finally, larger grains were formed during the corrosion process. The analysis of the chemical composition revealed higher concentration of chromium near steel surface. In contrast, to chromium, the content of iron, increased near the scale surface. It was found out that the (Cr, Mn, Fe)5O12 phase appeared in the thin scale.
A model system was used to simulate the properties of tribofilms which form during automotive braking. The model system was prepared by ball milling of a blend of 70 vol.% iron oxides, 15 vol.% molybdenum disulfide and 15 vol.% graphite. The resulting mixture was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and various transmission electron microscopic (TEM) methods, including energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS), high resolution investigations (HRTEM) with corresponding simulation of the HRTEM images, diffraction methods such as scanning nano-beam electron diffraction (SNBED) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). It could be shown that the ball milling caused a reduction of the grain size of the initial components to the nanometer range. Sometimes even amorphization or partial break-down of the crystal structure was observed for MoS2 and graphite. Moreover, chemical reactions lead to a formation of surface coverings of the nanoparticles by amorphous material, molybdenum oxides, and iron sulfates as derived from XPS.
Microstructure of a steel-alumo-sol-coating-system after heat treatment in an oxyfuel atmosphere
(2015)
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.
In order to obtain a better understanding of the role of tribofilms during automotive braking, their structures were investigated and the essential features identified.
Next, different ingredient combinations were studied by preparing some model materials with simpler compositions than real tribofilms. A test method was developed for verifying the tribological properties of the model materials and for comparison with results obtained with numerical sliding simulations of such structures. Prerequisites of good brake Performance properties were identified. Although the coefficient of friction could be varied in a wide ränge, smooth sliding conditions could only be achieved with values smaller than 0.4. Tests with artificial third body powders turned out to be useful as screening method for the selection of raw materials for brake pad formulations.
