    A Type 430 stainless steel was exposed to Ar-20 %CO<inf>2</inf> without and with water vapour at 800 °C up to 96 h. Increasing water vapour content from 5 % to 40 % helped reduce mass gain, enhance volatilisation, and improve scale adhesion with fewer pores at scale/steel interface. Mechanisms for Cr and Mn volatilisations including the direct reactions between Cr-containing oxide and CO<inf>2</inf> were suggested with the aid of the XPS results. Mathematical relations that express the role of water vapour on concentrations of defects responsible for scale growth were proposed to help explain the reduced oxidation rate.

    Based on the transport theory of multicomponent gas mixtures, we proposed an expression for determining the standard volatilisation enthalpy and entropy of chromia exposed to humidified oxygen at 298 K. The use of this expression could lead to the quantification of those thermodynamic quantities when the mass flux of Cr loss due to the volatilisation of chromia is determined. We thus experimentally measured the mass fluxes of Cr loss due to volatilisation in humidified atmospheres at 873–1073 K. As a result, the standard enthalpy and entropy of the volatilisation of chromia subjected to humidified oxygen at 298 K were quantified, giving the values of 61.1 ± 1.0 kJ mol<sup>−1</sup> and −43.0 ± 1.9 J K<sup>−1</sup> mol<sup>−1</sup>, respectively. The measured and calculated mass fluxes of Cr loss due to volatilisation tended to be related to absolute temperature in the Arrhenius-like form. We proposed the use of the line of the mass flux of Cr loss due to volatilisation in an Arrhenius-like diagram, which was shifted by the different thermodynamic data used to graphically assess the reliability of the thermodynamic data obtained from this work and the literature.

    Effects of temperature and water vapour on Cr-species volatilisation, oxidation and scale adhesion of a Type 409L stainless steel for application as interconnect of low temperature solid oxide fuel cells

    Though the classical transport theory does not mathematically express the Arrhenius-like relation between Cr-loss flux due to volatilisation and absolute temperature, such relation was experimentally observed for 409L stainless steel exposed at 600–750 °C. Volatilisation calculation in the present cases can be estimated giving such relation because of the nearly linear relation between mass transfer coefficient and temperature. Cr-loss fluxes in O<inf>2</inf> with 20 and 40 % H<inf>2</inf>O are close to or coincided with the fluxes calculated from MnCr<inf>2</inf>O<inf>4</inf> evaporation. Increasing water vapour could enhance volatilisation contributed from the raised CrO<inf>2</inf>(OH)<inf>2</inf> pressure, reduce oxidation rate, and worsen scale adhesion.

    In this paper, the effect of solar intensity on the heat pipe tip temperature in a heat pipe type—evacuated-tube solar collector (HP-ETSC) was investigated. A simple relation was proposed, relating the solar intensity to the heat pipe tip temperature generated from the experimental data. This simple empirical relation was applied in a set of heat transfer equations derived to predict the heating medium temperature at the manifold outlet of the evacuated-tube solar collector. The calculated results corresponding to two types of heating medium, i.e., palm oil and water, were compared with experimental results from the literature. The results show that the average error was 6.41% for the case of palm oil and 4.66% for the case of water. Based on the case of water as a heating medium fluid, it was found that the flow rate of the heating medium fluid affected the accuracy of prediction, as the percentage error increased with the heating medium flow rate. The maximum percentage error increased from only 1.83% for a water inlet flowing at a Reynolds number of about 2.4 × 10<sup>3</sup> to 15.23% for a water flow rate at a Reynolds number of about 2.6 × 10<sup>4</sup>. The correction factor was added into the correlation to predict the heat transfer coefficients of heating medium fluids. With this correction factor, the maximum error could be reduced from 11.78% to 7.29% for the palm oil case and from 15.23% to 5.57% for the water case. The average errors corresponding to palm oil and water cases could be reduced to 0.74% and 1.26%, respectively.

    Biogas is an alternative source of fuel potentially used to run solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). It mainly consists of CH<inf>4</inf> and CO<inf>2</inf> which can degrade the SOFC interconnect, which is typically made of stainless steel. To investigate the effect of each gas constituent, we focussed here on the effect of CO<inf>2</inf> on high-temperature oxidation behavior of and scale adhesion on the stainless steel interconnect, Type 430 stainless steel. The samples studied were oxidised in CO<inf>2</inf> at contents of 5–100% at 800 °C. The oxidation kinetics were found to be parabolic with the rate constant increasing when the CO<inf>2</inf> content increased. The scale adhesion was assessed using a tensile-test method. The scale formed in the atmosphere containing higher CO<inf>2</inf> content exhibited poorer scale adhesion, as indicated by a lower strain initiating the first spallation and a larger spallation percentage after the first spallation took place. The worsened scale adhesion relates to pores formed at the scale/steel interface. The adhesion energies were further quantified giving the values of about 40–100 J m<sup>–2</sup>. Oxidation mechanisms were suggested based on the dependence of the parabolic rate constant on the oxygen partial pressure and the inward diffusion of carbon-bearing species.

    Corrosion behaviour of AISI 430 stainless steel in O2-40%H2O at 800 °C

    Less mass gain and poorer scale adhesion assessed by the tensile test of the AISI 430 stainless steel exposed to O<inf>2</inf>-40%H<inf>2</inf>O at 800 °C were observed in comparison with the exposure to O<inf>2</inf>. The reduced mass gain was partly due to Cr-species volatilisation while the worse scale adhesion related to pores formed at scale/steel interface. The Brouwer diagrams were proposed to help discuss the water vapour effect on altering defect concentrations that could affect the oxidation rate and scale adhesion of the studied steel.

    Evidence for chromium, cobalt and molybdenum volatilisations during high temperature oxidation of Co-27Cr-6Mo Alloy

    A Co-27Cr-6Mo alloy was oxidised in pure O<inf>2</inf> between 800 and 1000 °C for durations up to 96 h. The flow rate was varied between 2 and 5 cm.s<sup>–1</sup>. In these conditions, volatilisations of chromium, cobalt and molybdenum were observed. The chromium volatilisation values were in good agreement with calculations assuming (CrO<inf>3</inf>)g volatilisation limited by diffusion in the gas boundary layer. On the contrary, the measured flux of evaporated Co was higher than the calculated Co volatilisation flux from the metallic Co. The theoretical relation between the solid Co particle size and its vapour pressure was suggested to help explaining such difference.

    Oxidation and volatilisation behaviour of a type 430 stainless steel coated by Mn-Co oxide by slurry method with pre-oxidation for SOFC interconnect application

    An AISI 430 stainless steel was coated by Mn-Co spinel using a slurry method. Pre-oxidation before the coating helped reduce the oxidation rate of the coated steel at 800 °C in O<inf>2</inf>-5%H<inf>2</inf>O, relating to the formation of the continuous chromia layer which inhibited the outward diffusion of iron to the coating layer. It also helped reduce the mass flux of Cr loss due to the volatilisation. The combined molecular and Knudsen diffusion of the volatile species through the coating layer was suggested to explain the reduced volatilisation rate of the coated sample with pre-oxidation.

    AISI 441 sheets were oxidized from 4 to 24 h at 800 °C in wet atmosphere. Micrometric oxide nodules containing Ti, Nb, Cr and Mn were observed to form on the passive scale. The internal microstructure of these objects was investigated using STEM–EDX and FIB-SEM tomography. Experimental results reveal a complex microstructure linked with the presence of Si and Nb and their competition for interfacial oxidation. Eventually, the chemical compositions of the nodule and of the oxidation affected zone in the nodule vicinity are discussed in relation with thermodynamic calculations investigating the stability of the different oxides.
