Abstract
1mol% Gd2O3 and 1mol% Yb2O3 co-doped 3.5mol% Y2O3 stabilized ZrO2 (GdYb-YSZ) ceramics in metastable tetragonal (t′) structure were fabricated, and their hot corrosion behaviors were evaluated. The corrosion tests were performed at 700°C, 800°C, 900°C and 1000°C for 4h in the presence of Na2SO4+V2O5 molten salt. After corrosion, t′ phase could still be detected on the corroded surfaces and its content decreased with increasing the corrosion temperature. The corrosion products were composed of doped YVO4 and m-ZrO2, but some amounts of Na4V2O7 were found at low corrosion temperatures (700°C and 800°C). The corrosion resistance characteristic of GdYb-YSZ was compared with that of YSZ. Under an identical corrosion condition, GdYb-YSZ had less monoclinic phase formed, indicative of a better hot corrosion resistance. The hot corrosion mechanism was discussed in detail.
