Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Alloys of various kinds are widely used in applications where high-temperature and aggressive environments are both present. Regardless of the application, durability is a key factor of success. Research activities are meant to understand the mechanism of degradation in operando of the metal components and its dependence on working parameters such as the environment, temperature, side reactions, contact with other materials, presence of electric or magnetic fields, mechanical stress, and phase changes. It is thus of fundamental importance to discuss the materials selection and the eventual protection strategies applied to enhance correspondence amid application issues and materials science responses.

This Special Issue of Metals will welcome papers regarding all kinds of alloys and practical solutions (consolidated, experimental and theoretical) regarding:

  • High-temperature corrosion, oxidation;
  • Protection of metal supports;
  • Accelerated tests;
  • Modeling (both descriptive and predictive);
  • Interaction between microstructural features and corrosion behavior;
  • Failure risk assessment.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit manuscripts to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

The fouling behavior of a steam generator (SG) tube was investigated at different positions after 500 h of immersion in high-temperature water. A triple-layer structure of fouling appeared at both the crevice position and the free span position, namely, the large, dispersedly distributed deposition layer on the top; the small and faceted outer layer; and the relatively continuous inner layer. There was no obvious positional effect on the thickness of the inner layer. However, in the crevice position, the density of the deposited particle and the thickness of the outer layer was much higher than those of the free span position. The tube support plate (TSP) made of 410 stainless steel contributed significantly to the fouling behavior of the SG tube in the crevice between the SG tube and the TSP. Full article

On the High-Temperature Oxidation and Area Specific Resistance of New Commercial Ferritic Stainless Steels

Two commercial ferritic stainless steels (FSSs), referred to as Steel A and Steel B, designed for specific high-temperature applications, were tested in static air for 2000 h at 750 °C to evaluate their potential as base materials for interconnects (ICs) in Intermediate Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cell stacks (IT-SOFCs). Their oxidation behavior was studied through weight gain and Area Specific Resistance (ASR) measurements. Additionally, the oxide scales developed on their surfaces were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Micro-Raman Spectroscopy (μ-RS), Scanning Electron Microscopy, and Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). The evolution of oxide composition, structure, and electrical conductivity in response to aging was determined. Comparing the results with those on AISI 441 FSS, steels A and B showed a comparable weight gain but higher ASR values that are required by the application. According to the authors, Steel A and B compositions need an adjustment (i.e., a plain substitution of the elements which form insulant oxides or a marginal modification in their content) to form a thermally grown oxide (TGO) with the acceptable ASR level.
