Excitation effect of low energy electrons on high temperature oxidation of corrosion resistant alloys in low pressure oxygen and role of chromium

Ogawa, Hiroaki  ; Kiuchi, Kiyoshi

The oxidation mechanism of nuclear system components accelerated under irradiation was basically examined using a micro-balance device installed an rf low energy plasma source. Six alloys with different Cr contents of Fe-Ni alloy, stainless steels, Ni base alloys and metallic Cr were used in the experiment. The difference in the oxidation behavior between the low energy plasma and thermal equilibrium in oxygen atmosphere of 20 Pa was evaluated at 873 K for 20 hours. The oxidation behavior was analyzed with the in-situ weight change and the surface analysis by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). On the thermal equilibrium, the weight gain is depressed with increasing Cr contents. On the other hand, the weigh loss was observed in the materials with high Cr contents in the low energy oxygen plasma with the high excitation condition. The oxidation behavior was analyzed with the mechanistic model, by considering the evaporation rate of volatile CrO$$_{3}$$ on the surface and the migration rate of O into the substrate.
