Nd. Shamanova et al., THE SURFACE-MORPHOLOGY OF 14X17H2, 12X18H10T, AND 08X18H12-UPSILON STEELS AFTER CORROSION TESTINGS IN CARBONATE MELT, Protection of metals, 32(2), 1996, pp. 142-147
14X17H2, 12X18H10T, and 08X18H12B steels were subjected to corrosion t
ests in an eutectic melt of lithium, potassium, and sodium carbonates
at 600 to 800 degrees C under a CO2 atmosphere. Oxide film is mainly f
ormed by iron and chromium oxides that interact with the melt and form
compounds of the types LiFe2O2 and LiFe5O8, in which iron is partiall
y substituted by chromium. The steel surface under the oxide film also
changes.
