LID - 10.3390/ma13071745 [doi] LID - 1745 AB - The study was carried out to evaluate five SiMo cast iron grades and their resistance to chemical corrosion at elevated temperature. Corrosion tests were carried out under conditions of an actual cyclic operation of a retort coal-fired boiler. The duration of the study was 3840 h. The range of temperature changes during one cycle was in the range of 300-650 degrees C. Samples of SiMo cast iron with Si content at the level of 5% and variable Mo content in the range 0%-2.5% were used as the material for the study. The examined material was subjected to preliminary metallographic analysis using scanning microscopy and an Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) system. The chemical composition was determined on the basis of a Leco spectrometer and a Leco carbon and sulfur analyzer. The examination of the oxide layer was carried out with the use of Scanning electron microscope (SEM), EDS, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. It was discovered that, in the analyzed alloys, oxide layers consisting of Fe(2)O(3), Fe(3)O(4), SO(2), and Fe(2)SiO(4) were formed. The analyzed oxide layers were characterized by high adhesion to the substrate material, and their total thickness was about 20 mum.
