Abstract
The development and evaluation of novel stainless steel-based composites for direct contact with liquid aluminum alloys has been carried out. The Steel Ceramic Composite consisted of 60 vol% 316L stainless steel powder and 40 vol% of MgO or TiO2 ceramic powder. The sample were manufactured using uniaxial pressing and subsequent surface pre-oxidation at 850, 1000 °C for 24 h.The corrosion resistance of composite was investigated against molten AlSi7Mg0.3 alloy using crucible corrosion tests. The tests were carried out at 850 °C for 24 h and 168 h. The influence of pre-oxidation on the corrosion resistance of the samples was analyzed using XRD and SEM/EDS. The corrosion phases formed in the aluminum alloy were investigated using SEM/EDS/EBSD and PSEM/ASPEX/AFA and included the assessment of aluminum alloy contamination by evaluation of corrosion precipitation content, quantity and size. The sample Steel-MgO exhibited excellent corrosion resistance with negligible contamination of the aluminum alloy.
