The Influence of Yttrium on Kinetics and Mechanism of Chromia Scale Growth on Fe-Cr-Ni Base Steels

Abstract:

The influence of yttrium on the corrosion resistance of four valve steels (X33CrNiMn23-8, X50CrMnNiNbN21-9, X53CrMnNiN20-8 and X55CrMnNiN20-8) in combustion gases of fuel oil containing 10 wt. % of biocomponents has been studied at 1173 K under thermal shock conditions. These experiments have been carried out by rapid heating of the studied materials up to 1173 K and after two hours cooling down to room temperature. These thermal shocks have been repeated hundreds of times, determining after every shock the mass changes of the corroded samples. It has been found that small amount of yttrium deposited on the steel surface using electrochemical treatment considerably improves the scale adherence and consequently corrosion resistance in the case of X33CrNiMn23-8 steel, containing the highest chromium concentration.
