The oxidation resistance and high temperature mechanical properties of FeCrNi heat-resisting steel are analyzed and studied. The results show that the oxidation resistance of the heat-resisting steel is improved remarkably after adding RE. The value of oxidation rate of Sample 1 (without adding RE) is 1.71 times higher than Sample 2, respectively at 1423K. And the value of oxidation rate of Sample 1 is 1.4 times higher than Sample 2, respectively at 1473K. The fracture mode of heat-resisting stainless steel is typical cleavage fracture, but dimple fracture after adding RE into the steel. The high temperature mechanical properties of heat-resisting steel is improved obviously by RE. In comparison with heat-resisting stainless steel without RE, the reduction of area of heat-resisting stainless steel with RE is increased 26.27% at 1123K.

The effects of rare earth metals on the inclusions and the mechanical properties of 21Cr11Ni austenitic steel were studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy spectrum analysis. The results show that the morphologies and sizes of inclusions in 21Cr11Ni stainless steel are changed, and rare earth played a very good role of modifying inclusions. The fracture mode of 21Cr11Ni stainless steel is typical cleavage fracture, but quasi-cleavage and dimple fracture after adding RE into the steel. The transverse impact toughness of 21Cr11Ni stainless steel is improved obviously by RE. In comparison with 21Cr11Ni stainless steel without RE, the transverse impact toughness of 21Cr11Ni stainless steel with RE is increased 25.33% at-40°C, and the room temperature strength are improved, the elongation and reduction of area have been improved 9.18%, 12.71% respectively.

The effects of rare earth metals on the inclusions and the mechanical properties of 2Cr13 stainless steel were studied by metallographic examination, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy spectrum analysis. The results show that the morphologies and sizes of inclusions in 2Cr13 stainless steel are changed, and rare earth metals played a very good role of modifying inclusions. The fracture mode of 2Cr13 stainless steel is typical cleavage fracture, but quasi-cleavage and dimple fracture after adding Ce into the steel, and the spherical inclusions of rare earth oxysulfide in the dimple are the main factors for this transformation. The transverse impact toughness of 2Cr13 stainless steel is improved obviously by Ce. In comparison with 2Cr13 stainless steel without Ce, the transverse impact toughness of 2Cr13 stainless steel with Ce is increased 54.55% at -40°C, and the room temperature strength are improved, the elongation and reduction of area have been improved 11.90%, 16.67 respectively.

The effects of CeCl3-containing fluxes on RE element loss, the high temperature mechanical properties, microstructure and corrosion properties of magnesium alloy containing RE have been studied. The results showed that a certain amount of CeCl3 in purification fluxes restrained the reaction between the Ce element and fluxes to decrease the loss of Ce in alloys. With the flux containing 9% CeCl3, the loss rate of alloy element Ce can be reduced from 26.9% to 3.4%, and the σb and δ of the alloys at 150°C counld be improved from 160.9MPa and 6.2% to 176.5MPa and 7.9% compared with that of conventional MgCl2-containing flux , respectively. Besides, the coarse β phase and rod-like RE phase were refined effectively by CeCl3-containing fluxes.

AbstractThe corrosion behavior of a Ni3A1–1 5at%Fe alloy has been studied in air and melted salts, and also that of Ni3Al alloys contained series boron in melted salts. The first alloy has two oxidation rate constants. Its initial oxidation activity energy is 319 kJ / mol. There was much FeAl2O4 formed at 950°C, which possessed better oxidation resistance than NiFe2O4, therefore the alloy had the best oxidation resistance at 950°C. It also had better sulfidation resistance than 00Cr19NillTi stainless steel at 850°C, but the alloy was sulfidized seriously at 950°C. The sulfides were FeS2 at 850°C and A12S3, Ni2S3 at 950°C. There were different initial oxides formed, which were Fe3O4 at 850°C, and mixture oxides of NiO, NiMoO4, A12O3 and NiAl2O4 at 950°C , respectively. The Ni3Al alloys with boron contents from 0 to 3.7at% had better sulfidation resistance than the stainless steel at 850°C, and the alloy with 1.37at%B was the best. The sulfides were the same in the boron containing Ni3Al alloys which were Al2S3 and Ni7S6.
