Semi-crystalline design of SiB6-modified enamel coatings: Towards long-term synergistic resistance to hydrothermal corrosion

Xinchang Feng, Fangwei Guo, Wenchen Zhang, Qingfeng Zeng, Junning Li, Xiaofeng Zhao

Abstract

Defects such as bubble pores and cracks of enamel coating accelerate failure in hydrothermal conditions. Here, a trace amount of SiB 6 modified enamel coating prepared at a low sintering temperature showed promising hydrothermal corrosion resistance at 80–600 °C. The semi-crystalline enamel coatings modified by 1 wt% SiB 6 demonstrated enhanced amorphization degree and exhibited a minimal mass change of ∼0.01 % after 480 h. Compared to the undoped coatings, both the equivalent coating electrochemical resistance and charge transfer resistance at the coating/substrate interface were increased by 2∼3 times. A significant amount of flocculent products sealed in the residual pores of the SiB 6 modified enamel coating during hydrothermal reaction process, preventing gaseous H 2 O to migrate to the interface of the steel substrate. This study highlights the synergistic optimization of the amorphous phase and residual stress to dynamically regulate the coating hydrothermal corrosion resistance through a strategic interplay of composition and microstructure design.
