Abstract:In this study, effects of pre-oxidation on the hot corrosion behaviour of Al–Si coatings in a Na2SO4 and 25 w/% NaCl mixture at 900 °C were investigated. The results showed that after 120 h of corrosion, a large amount of β-NiAl residual was found with no obvious sulphides or oxidation in the pre-oxidised Al–Si coating. The pre-formed oxide film on the pre-oxidised coating prevented external O2– and species such as S2– and Cl– from the molten salts from directly contacting the coating and reduced the rate of T… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
