Corrosion Behavior of Molybdenum in Molten Aluminum

Article Preview

Abstract:

Corrosion of molybdenum in molten aluminum was investigated by static immersion tests. The layer formed between aluminum and molybdenum was consist of Al4Mo at 700°C, Al8Mo3 at 750°C, Al4Mo and Al8Mo3 at 800°C range for periods varying from 8 to 120 h . The intermetallic layer broke up as long as it grew due to thermal stresses and dispersed in the molten aluminum. The weight-loss of molybdenum varied linearly with time. The corrosion rate increased with temperature and the activation energy was nearly 88.4 kJ mol-1.
