Abstract

The effect of erosion angle on erosion behavior of the as-cast Fe-B alloy in flowing liquid zinc was investigated. The results show that the erosion rate of Fe-B alloy decreases linearly with increasing erosion angle. The erosion resistance of Fe-B alloy is better than that of 316L stainless steel, which is attributed to the favorable barrier effect of net-like Fe2B that resists erosion by flowing liquid zinc. Meanwhile, the ductile matrix can provide support in preventing borides from spalling and borides cause barrier effect on flowing liquid zinc during liquid zinc erosion, which shows a synergistic erosion-corrosion behavior between the matrix and borides. Moreover, an increase in erosion angle can cause a decrease in the removal effect of the flowing liquid zinc scouring component on the erosion compounds. Therefore, the quantity of erosion compounds increases at the erosion interface, weakening the mass transfer process and decreasing the erosion rate of the Fe-B alloy.
