Vf. Gladkova et al., ELECTRON-DIFFRACTION INVESTIGATION OF SURFACE-FILMS FORMED ON IRON AND NICKEL IN FLUORINE-CONTAINING MEDIA, Journal of applied chemistry of the USSR, 65(11), 1992, pp. 1983-1985
Protective films of FeF2 and NiF2 formed at a temperature above 50 deg
rees C were detected by electron diffraction on the surface of iron an
d nickel in nitrogen trifluoride and sulfur hexafluoride. In nitrogen
trifluoride on an increase of the temperature to 200-300 degrees C on
iron a phase transition from FeF2 to FeF3 was established, leading to
a sharp increase in the rate of interaction of iron with the medium.
