Reaction of iron with SiCl4 gas

Oxidation of Metals Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Interesting reaction phenomena occur when iron is heated in SiCl4 gas. Silicon is taken up by the metal so that layers of Fe-Si compounds are formed; at the same time, iron escapes because of the formation of a volatile chloride. This leads to characteristic configurations of pores, voids, and cracks.
