Introduction
  • During Viet Nam War, hot gas turbine engine
    components suffered extreme corrosion attack
    sulfides were found in Ni-base alloys faulted
    protective oxides failed to protect the alloys
    porous oxide/salt products were seen.
  • An NMAB committee examined the phenomenon, but a
    detailed mechanism was lacking. The problem was
    called Sulfidation

5
Progress in Understanding
  • Goebel and Pettit, Bornstein and DeCresente
    showed that the problem was tied to a thin
    Na2SO4-base fused salt film coating the external
    surface. The geometric similarity to aqueous
    atmospheric corrosion provided the new name Hot
    Corrosion.
  • As a qualitative mechanism Fluxing/dissolution
    of protective scale leads to a reduction of the
    salt by the alloy (forming sulfides) with
    precipitation of non-protective oxide particles
    in the salt-coated surface film.

Basic Fluxing Mechanism
  • Ni metal reacts with fused Na2SO4 to form NiO.
  • The oxygen activity decreases and sulfur activity
    increases.
  • Formation of liquid nickel sulfide causes an
    increase in local salt basicity (sodium oxide
    activity).
  • Normally protective NiO scale is dissolved/fluxed
    to form a basic solute, nickelate ions.
  • With a negative solubility gradient,
    non-protective NiO particles are precipitated
    within the salt film.
  • These results support a basic fluxing reaction,
    i.e. corrosive attack by forming a basic solute
    of the protective scale.

Protective Behavior of Chromium
  • Why is chromium the most effective alloying
    element to combat corrosion by sodium sulfate?
    From the Cr2O3 solubility study, the answer lies
    in the oxygen-pressure-dependence for the basic
    dissolution of Cr2O3.
  • The valence of Cr is increased from 3 to 6 upon
    Cr2O3 dissolution to form CrO42- ions, so the
    basic solubility of Cr2O3 increases with
    increasing oxygen activity

Protective Behavior of Chromium
  • Any thin salt film is more reducing at the
    metal/salt interface than toward the oxidizing
    gas. Therefore, chromate solute experiences a
    positive solubility gradient.
  • Consumptive reprecipitation of oxide in the salt
    film will not occur. Rather, the chromate ion
    will deposit the oxide, satisfying a reduction in
    its solubility, at the most reduced sites, e.g.
    at the flaws or grain boundaries of the scale.
  • In this way, the Cr serves as a protective
    component to plug flaws in the scale.

Other Hot Corrosion Studies at OSU
  • Studies of the effect of vanadates of oxide
    solubilities
  • Mechanism for vanadate hot corrosion
  • Complex impedance studies of salt conductivities
  • Transient ec experimentation to identify species
    involved in oxidation/reduction reactions (cyclic
    voltammetry, chronoamperometry, chronovoltametry)

31
Other Types of Hot Corrosion
  • Type 1 High-Temperature Hot Corrosion-Acidic
    Fluxing High-valent refractory metal components
    in the alloy or the salt complex with oxide ions
    to greatly increase the acidic solubilities of
    oxides. Pettit, et al. Again, oxide
    dissolution/reprecipitation.
  • Type 2 Low-Temperature Hot Corrosion-Far below
    melting point of Na2SO4. Corrosion products of
    the base metal or coating form a multi-component
    salt with low liquidus temperature. Negative
    solubility gradient criterion still applies.
