Abstract

Reduced activation ferritic martensitic steel JLF-1 (Fe-9Cr-2 W-0.1 C) corroded in liquid Sn at 673–873 K due to the formation of intermetallic compound layers. The outward growth of FeSn2 layer at 773 K was rate-controlled by a boundary diffusion. The inward growth of FeSn-like layer was recognized in the exposure for more than 250 h. The FeSn growth progressed according to the diffusion of Sn along the boundaries of martensite structure. Thin Cr2O3 layer formed by a pre-oxidation treatment did not function as an anti-corrosion layer in liquid Sn, though the sintered specimens of Fe2O3 and Cr2O3 revealed corrosion resistance.
