The effect of electrochemical charging of hydrogen on the structure of a lean duplex stainless steel LDX 2101® (EN 1.4162, UNS S32101) was examined by both Time-of-Flight secondary ion mass spectrometry and electron back-scatter diffraction. The goal is to correlate hydrogen concentration and induced structural changes. Chemical and structural characterizations were done for the same region at the sample's surface with sub-micron spatial resolution. Regions of interest were varying in size between 50 × 50 μm and 100 × 100 μm. The results show a phase transformation of austenite to mainly a defect-rich BCC and scarcely a HCP phase. The phase transformation occurred in deuterium rich regions in the austenite.
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.
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.

High- and medium-entropy alloys (HEAs) are a quite new class of materials. They have a high potential for applications from low to high temperatures due to the excellent combination of their structural properties.
Concerning their application as components; processing properties, such as machinability, have hardly been investigated so far. Hence, machinability analyses with a focus on the influence of the milling process and its basic parameters (cutting speed, feed per cutting edge) on the resulting surface integrity of specimens from an equiatomic high- (CoCrFeMnNi) and a medium- (CoCrNi) entropy alloy have been carried out. A highly innovative milling process with ultrasonic assistance (USAM) was compared to conventional milling processes.
Recent studies have shown that USAM has a high potential to significantly reduce the mechanical load on the tool and workpiece surface during milling. In this study, the basic machining and ultrasonic parameters were systematically varied. After machining, the surface integrity of the alloys was analyzed in terms of topography, defects, subsurface damage, and residual stresses. It was observed that USAM reduces the cutting forces and increases the surface integrity in terms of lower tensile residual stresses and defect density near the surfaces for the CoCrFeMnNi alloy. It was shown that the cutting forces and the metallurgical influence in the sub surface region are reduced by increasing the cutting speed and reducing the feed rate per cutting edge. With the CoCrNi alloy, the tool revealed severe wear. As a result, for this alloy no influence of the parameters on the machinability could be determined.
Gold and platinum-group-metals (PGM) are cycled through Earth's environments by interwoven geological, physical, chemical and biological processes leading to the trans/neoformation of metallic particles in placers.
The placer deposit at Corrego Bom Successo (CBS, Brazil) is one of the few localities worldwide containing secondary gold- and PGM-particles. Placer gold consists of detrital particles from nearby hydrothermal deposits that were transformed in the surface environment. Processes that have affected these particles include shortdistance transport, chemical de-alloying of the primary Gold silver, and (bio)geochemical dissolution/reprecipitation of Gold leading to the formation of pure, secondary gold and the Dispersion of gold nanoparticles. The latter processes are likely mediated by non-living organic matter (OM) and bacterial biofilms residing on the particles. The biofilms are largely composed of metallophillic β- and γ-Proteobacteria. Abundant mobile gold and platinum nanoparticles were detected in surface waters, suggesting similar mobilities of these metals. Earlier hydrothermal processes have led to the formation of coarsely-crystalline, arborescent dendritic potarite (PdHg). On potarite surfaces, biogeochemical processes have then led to the formation of platinum- and palladium-rich micro-crystalline layers, which make up the botryoidal platinum palladium aggregates. Subsequently potarite was dissolved from the core of many aggregates leaving voids now often filled by secondary anatase (TiO2) containing biophilic elements. The presence of fungal structures associated with the anatase suggests that fungi may have contributed to ist formation. For the first time a primary magmatic PGM-particle comprising a mono-crystalline platinum palladium-alloy with platinum iridium osmium inclusions was described from this locality, finally defining a possible primary source for the PGM mineralisation. In conclusion, the formation of modern-day placer gold- and PGM-particles at CBS began 100s ofmillions of years ago bymagmatic and hydrothermal processes. These provided the metal sources for more recent biogeochemical cycling of PGEs and gold that led to the trans/neoformation of gold- and PGM-particles.
Meteorites are a unique and inspiring material for microstructural studies because if their very specific genesis. Iron meteorites have been formed under unimaginable cooling rates of a few ten Kelvins per million years so that the observable transformation of the formerly huge Fe-Ni single crystals of taenite occurred under nearly-equilibrium conditions. Octahedrites (meteorites having a Ni content between 6...15%) are characterized by ribbons of the low-temperature Fe-Ni phase kamacite separated by rims of residual taenite. This very specific feature is known as Widmanstaetten structure and has been investigated by synchrotron radiation in order to cover a higher volume fraction for a statistically relevant description of orientation relationships. However, plessite – a microstructure mainly consisting of the same phases – reflects the orientation relationship between kamacite and taenite as well. For their characterization, a scanning electron microscope is very suitable in order to investigate crystal orientations or identify phases. Despite the apparently ideal formation circumstances of iron meteorites, Ni concentration profiles prove non-equilibrium conditions. Combined EDS (energy dispersive spectroscopy) and EBSD (electron backscatter diffraction) measurements at a selected plessitic region of the Cape York iron shows that a correlation exists between Ni-concentration and the locally detected orientation relationship.
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.
Though Ni-base superalloys show a high oxidation and corrosion resistance, coatings could still improve these properties, especially if used at temperatures up to 1000 °C. Here, a coating was prepared by applying a boehmite-sol via dip-coating and a subsequent heat treatment at 600 °C for 30 minutes. To evaluate the coating, the oxidation behavior of bare and alumina coated Ni-base alloy Inconel 625 in air at 900 °C was studied for up to 2000 h. Electron microscopic studies of sample surfaces and cross-sections showed that (i) in the 3.5 µm – 6.3 mm thick scale formed on the bare alloy, Fe and Ni are located as fine precipitates at the grain boundaries of the chromia-rich scale, (ii) Ni and Ti are concentrated to a minor degree at the grain boundaries of the scale, too; and for the coated sample: (iii) the only 1.8 µm thick sol-gel alumina coating slows down the formation of chromia on the alloy surface and reduces the outward diffusion of the alloy constituents. The protective effect of the coating was evidenced by (i) diminished chromium diffusion at grain boundaries resulting in less pronounced string-like protrusions at the outer surface of the coated IN 625, (ii) formation of a Cr-enriched zone above the alloy surface which was thinner than the scale on the uncoated sample, (iii) no detectable Cr-depleted zone at the alloy surface, and (iv) a narrower zone of formation of Kirkendall pores.
Influence of support configurations on the characteristics of selective laser-melted Inconel 718
(2018)
Samples fabricated using two different support configurations by following identical scan strategies during selective laser melting of superalloy Inconel 718 were characterized in this study. Characterization methods included optical microscopy, electron back-scattered diffraction and x-ray diffraction residual stress measurement. For the scan strategy considered, microstructure and residual stress development in the samples were influenced by the support structures. However, crystallographic texture intensity and the texture components formed within the core part of the samples were almost independent of the support. The formation of finer grains closer to the support as well as within the columnar grain boundaries resulted in randomization and texture intensity reduction by nearly half for the sample built on a lattice support. Heat transfer rates dictated by the support configurations in addition to the scan strategy influenced the microstructure and residual stress development in selective laser-melted Inconel 718 samples.
