Abstract

Two types of 9% Cr heat resistant steels were used to investigate the preferential dissolution mechanism of Laves phase in 8 mol/L NaOH solutions in an atomic scale by quasi-in-situ TEM analyses and first principles calculations. The dissolution of Laves phase is due to the unprotective oxide film . The dissolution rate of Laves phase was associated with the crystal orientation, and the stacking faults hinder the dissolution of Laves phase in a strong alkaline solution. Further, DFT calculations were used to illustrate the dissolution process of Laves phase, and the result is consistent with the TEM observation.
