Abstract
We study the influence of mechanical pulsed treatment (MPT-1) on the corrosion resistance of Fe – 0.2C – 13Cr – 0.3Si steel in a lead melt containing 1.3 ⋅ 10 – 3 wt.% of oxygen at a temperature of 550°C for 1000 h. It is shown that the MPT promotes the formation of micro- and macrodefects in the subsurface zone of the specimens, which intensifies the process of oxidation of steel. The oxidation resistance of steel after MPT-2 and MPT-3 (with adding aluminum and silicon) is attained as a result of the formation of a hardened zone with nanocrystalline structure and large lengths of grain boundaries intensifying the diffusion of chromium into the oxide films.
