Growth of wustite scales on steels

Pages 513-519 | Published online: 18 Jul 2013
 

Abstract

Oxidation properties were investigated of iron, iron-nickel alloys containing up to 40 wt% nickel, and an iron −1.5 wt% silicon alloy exposed to carbon dioxide - carbon monoxide atmospheres at 1000°C. Wustite was the only oxide formed on iron and the iron-nickel alloys. On the iron-silicon alloy, a superficial duplex scale was formed consisting of a wustite-fayalite conglomerate beneath the external wustite layer. Oxidation rates over extended time periods were governed by linear kinetics, the linear rate constants depending proportionally on the carbon dioxide partial pressures. The mechanism for linear oxidation of iron and the alloys may be interpreted by a model wherein the phase boundary reactions for the dissociation of carbon dioxide and incorporation of chemisorbed oxygen into wustite are the rate-determining steps.

Résumé

Les auteurs ont étudié les propriétés d'oxydation du fer, d'alliages fer-nickel contenant jusqu' à 40%p. de Ni et de fer-1.5% p. Si exposés à des atmosphéres de CO-CO2 à 1000°C. Dans Ie cas du fer et des alliages fer-nickel Ie seul oxyde qui se formait était la Wüstite. Pour Ie fer-silicium, sous la couche externe de Wüstite se formait un composé double de Wiistite et de fayalite. Pour de longues périodes de temps, les taux d'oxydation suivent une cinétique linéaire dont les contraintes sont proportionnelles à la pression partielle du CO2. Le mécanisme d'oxydation linéaire du fer et des alliages étudiés peut être interprété par un modèle pour lequel les facteurs déterminants sont les réactions de joints de phase pour la dissociation du CO2 et l'incorporation de l'oxygene chemisorbé dans Ie Wüstite.
