Abstract
“Sol paint” that yields yttrium-based compounds was prepared by mixing four chemical ingredients, yttrium acetate tetrahydrate precursor, diethanolamine, isopropyl alcohol, and hydrochloric acid, and then applied as oxidation/corrosion resistant coatings for Inconel 625 substrates. Annealing the coatings at 500°C developed a coalescent microstructure of coarse particles consisting of amorphous yttrium carbonate as the major component and crystalline yttrium oxide (Y2O3) as the minor one. At 700°C, the yttrium carbonate was transformed into Y2O3 by decarbonation. Increasing the annealing temperature to 900°C led to the formation of the YCrO3 phase yielded by interaction between Y2O3 and the Cr2O3 which had arisen from the oxidation of the underlying Inconel; the YCrO3 phase created a particle coating with a densified microstructure. There were two key factors in mitigating the degree of oxidation of Inconel at 900°C in air: (1) an uptake of oxygen by Y2O3 in the coatings, and (2) a densified coating layer that suppresses the diffusion and permeation of oxygen through it. Furthermore, inhibiting the rate of NaCl-caused corrosion was not only due to the excellent coverage of particle coatings over the entire surfaces of the substrates, but also may be associated with a good adherence of the coatings to the substrates.
