The results of microstructure and mechanical properties evaluation of a Stellite 6 (Co-6) alloy deposited on X22CrMoV12-1 substrate by the laser-engineered net shaping (LENSTM) technology are presented in this paper. The Stellite 6 alloy is widely used in industry due to its excellent wear resistance at elevated temperatures and corrosive environments. Specific properties of this alloy are useful in many applications, e.g., as protective coatings in steam turbine components. In this area, the main problems are related to the fabrication of coatings on complex-shaped parts, the low metallurgical quality of obtained coatings, and its insufficient adhesion to a substrate. The results of recently performed investigations proved that the LENS technology is one of the most effective manufacturing techniques of the Co-6 alloy coatings (especially deposited on complex-shaped turbine parts). The microstructural and phase analyses of obtained Stellite 6 coatings were carried out by light microscopy techniques and X-ray diffraction analysis. A chemical homogeneity of Co-6 based layers and a fluctuation of chemical composition in coating–substrate zone after the laser deposition were analyzed using an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer coupled with scanning electron microscopy. The room temperature strength and ductility of the LENS processed layers were determined in static bending tests.

Zn and Zn/Al 85/15 coatings are produced at optimum conditions by twin wire electric arc (TWEA) spraying technique and are used in various industrial applications to improve corrosion protection. As an alternative for Zn coating, Zn/Al 85/15 alloys coating show very good corrosion resistances and can protect substrate materials against harsh corrosive environments. The weight ratio of 85 Zn and 15 Al is regarded as optimum value. The forms of coating material are wires with different diameters. The aim of this study is comparison of anticorrosion performance of Zn and Zn/Al 85/15 coatings on ductile iron pipe surfaces as protective coatings against corrosion. Test samples were prepared from Zn and Zn/Al 85/15 coated ductile iron pipes. Coatings were investigated by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and have been analyzed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). They were compared according to protection performance against corrosion in salt spraying test according to ASTM B117. As a result of this study, Zn/Al 85/15 coating showed clear anticorrosion protection capacity against Zn coatings.

Hot corrosion is the serious problem in gas turbines, superheaters, and economizers of coal-fired boilers. It occurs due to the usage of wide range of fuels such as coal, oil, and so on at the elevated temperatures. Protective coatings on boiler steels are used under such environments. In the present investigation, Stellite-6 and Stellite-21 coatings have been deposited on boiler steel SAE 431 by detonation gun method. The hot corrosion performance of Stellite-6 and Stellite-21 coated as well as uncoated SAE 431 steel has been evaluated in aggressive environment of Na2SO4-82%Fe2(SO4)3under cyclic conditions at an elevated temperature of 900°C for total duration of 50 cycles. Thermogravimetric technique was used to approximate the kinetics of hot corrosion. Stellite-6 coating imparted better hot corrosion resistance than Stellite-21 coating in the given environment. Scanning electron microscopy was used to characterize the surface of hot corrosion products.

Random copolyesters composed of wholly aromatic monomers such as p-oxybenzoate (B) and 2,6-oxynaphthoate (N) are known to exhibit liquid crystalline characteristics at elevated temperatures and over a broad composition range. Previous studies employing techniques such as X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) have conclusively proven that these thermotropic copolymers can possess a significant crystalline fraction, depending on molecular characteristics and processing history, despite the fact that the copolymer chains possess random intramolecular sequencing. Consequently, the nature of the crystalline structure that develops when these materials are processed in their mesophases and subsequently annealed has recently received considerable attention. A model that has been consistent with all experimental observations involves the Non-Periodic Layer (NPL) crystallite, which occurs when identical monomer sequences enter into register between adjacent chains. The objective of this work is to employ electron microscopy to identify and characterize these crystallites.

AbstractHigh-temperature X-ray diffraction techniques were employed to study the condensation reactions which occur when sodium orthophosphates are heated to 380°C. Crystalline Na4P2O7 and an amorphous phase were formed first from an equimolar mixture of Na2HPO4·NaH2PO4 and Na2HPO4 at temperatures above 150°C. Further heating resulted in the formation of Na5P3O10-I (high-temperature form) at the expense of the crystalline Na4P4O7 and amorphous phase. Crystalline Na5P3O10-II (low-temperature form) appears after Na5P3O10-I.Conditions which affect the yield of crystalline Na4P2O7 and amorphous phase as intermediates and their effect on the yield of Na5P3O10 are also presented.

Stone monuments and buildings are susceptible to weathering. Carbonate-based stones are especially vulnerable in acidic environments, whereas magmatic acidic stones are more susceptible to chemical weathering in basic environments. To slow down surface corrosion of limestone and marble artworks/buildings, protective coatings which inhibit calcite dissolution have been proposed. In this work, samples from two stone types with different porosity were treated with ammonium oxalate (AmOx) to create a protective layer of calcium oxalate (CaOx) using the previously developed brushing method. Two different synchrotron microscopy experiments were performed to determine its protective capability. X-ray powder diffraction (SR-μ-XRPD) in transmission geometry allowed visualization of the distributions of calcium carbonate and oxalates along the sample depths. In a second step, X-ray fluorescence (SR-μ-XRF) was used to check the efficiency/integrity of the protective surface coating layer. This was done by measuring the sulfur distribution on the stone surface after exposing the protected stones to sulfuric acid. XRPD showed the formation of a protective oxalate layer with a thickness of 5–15 µm on the less porous stone, while a 20–30 µm thick layer formed on the more porous stone. The XRF study showed that the optimal treatment time depends on the stone porosity. Increasing the treatment time from 1 to 3 h resulted in a decreased efficiency of the protective layer for the low porosity stone. We assume that this is due to the formation of vertical channels (cracks) in the protective layer.

This work investigates the oxidation of a nickel based superalloy, namely Alloy X, in water at elevated temperatures: subcritical water at 261°C and 27 MPa, the transition between subcritical and supercritical water at 374°C and 27 MPa, and supercritical water at 380°C and 27 MPa for 100 hours. The morphology of the sample surfaces were studied using scanning electron microscopy coupled with focused ion beam milling, and the surface chemistry was investigated using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy before and after exposure studies. Surfaces of all samples were identified to comprise of a ferrite spinel containing aluminum.
