Effect of Reaction Temperature on Pickling of 430 Stainless Steel
stainless steel is used as raw material and pickling in HCl-based electrolytes is adopted, and the effect of pickling temperature on removal behavior of the oxide layer on stainless steel is systematically studied, study found that the oxide layer of stainless steel after heat treatment in the lab is composed of Fe2O3 and Cr2O3, at different temperatures, with the increasing of duration, corrosion potential of stainless steel after heat treatment shows fall followed by rise, and corrosion potential of stainless steel in 60°C is obvious higher than in 50 °C; with temperature increasing, the weight loss of stainless steel after pickling increase with large range, and the weight loss of the oxide layer of stainless steel increases as the duration increases.
Adhesion of thermal oxide scales grown on ferritic stainless steels measured using the inverted blister test
Abstract The inverted blister test was used to study the adhesion of chromium-rich oxide scales thermally grown on several ferritic stainless steels. With this technique, a quantitative determination of the adhesion energy of the oxide on its substrate was possible. The adhesion energy is found to vary between 3 and 170 J m −2 depending on the specimens. It appears that the parameters influencing adhesion are oxide thickness and the nature of the minor alloying elements present in the alloy. The microstructural observation of both sides of the oxide/alloy interface after debonding provides important information on adhesion and spallation.
Novel method for the determination of the methoxyl content in lignin by headspace gas chromatography.
The paper reports on a headspace gas chromatographic (HS-GC) method for the determination of methoxyl in lignin. The method involves the quantitive cleavage of methoxyl with hydroiodic acid (HI) to form methyl iodide in a closed headspace sample vial at 130 °C for 30 min. After HI has been added, the sample is neutralized by injecting a sodium hydroxide solution; the methyl iodide in the vial was determined by HS-GC using a flame ionization detector. The results showed that the method has an excellent measurement precision (RSD < 0.69%) and accuracy (RSD < 3.5%) for the quantification of methoxyl content in lignin. The present method is simple and accurate and can be used for the efficient determination of methoxy1 content in lignin and related materials.
