G. Bonnet et al., ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMICAL-VAPOR-DEPOSITION OF RARE-EARTH-OXIDE THIN-FILMS - APPLICATION FOR STEEL PROTECTION AGAINST HIGH-TEMPERATURE OXIDATION, Solid state ionics, 72, 1994, pp. 344-348
In this paper, an OMCVD method is used for local introduction of rare
earth elements at chromia former alloy surfaces. Effect of such coatin
gs on high temperature oxidation of two common stainless steels (AISI
304 and F17Ti) are comparatively tested in isothermal and cyclic condi
tions. In both cases, and particularly under cyclic conditions, a sign
ificant improvement of the high temperature behaviour is observed, dep
ending on the rare earth element used for coating.
