  2. 1. High temperature corrosion of some selected stainless steels and Ni-base alloys – an advanced microscopy study

    Author : Nooshin Mortazavi Seyedeh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; oxidation; KCl; STEM; high-temperature materials; STEM EDX; TKD.;

    Abstract : The thesis deals with high temperature corrosion behavior of some selective stainless steels and Ni-base alloys with applications in power generation technologies, e.g. boilers fired by biomass and waste. READ MORE

  4. 2. Microstructure Investigation of the Oxidation Process in Zircaloy-2 - The Effect of Intermetallic Particle Size

    Author : Pia Tejland; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Zircaloy-2; STEM; HAADF; ADF; FIB; SEM; EDX; APT;

    Abstract : Zirconium alloys are widely used in nuclear reactors as fuel cladding tubes because of their low thermal neutron capture cross-section, good corrosion properties and satisfactory mechanical properties. With an improved corrosion resistance the alloys could be used for much longer times in the reactors, increasing fuel burn-up and decreasing the amount of radioactive waste. READ MORE

  5. 3. Microstructure of Zirconium Alloys Oxidized in Steam

    Author : Pia Tejland; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; EDX; ADF; TEM; Zircaloy-2; FIB-SEM; STEM; GD-OES; SPP; SEM; Zirconium; HAADF;

    Abstract : Zirconium alloys are widely used in nuclear reactors as fuel cladding tubes because of their low thermal neutron capture cross-section, good corrosion properties and satisfactory mechanical properties. However, the main limiting factor of these materials is the oxidation behavior. READ MORE

  6. 4. Aberration-Corrected Analytical Electron Microscopy of Transition Metal Nitride and Silicon Nitride Multilayers

    Author : Amie Fallqvist; Per Persson; Lars Hultman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Two multilayer thin films have been studied: TiN/SiNx and ZrN/SiNx. A double-corrected transmission electron microscope (TEM) was utilized for imaging and spectroscopy. Imaging was carried out in scanning mode (STEM) for all samples. READ MORE

  7. 5. High Temperature Oxidation and Chlorination of FeCrAl alloys

    Author : Niklas Israelsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; KCl; pre-oxidation; FeCrAl; H2O; high-temperature corrosion; kinetics;

    Abstract : AbstractThe constant strive for improved efficiency and lower-cost industrial processes often results in progressively higher temperatures and more aggressive environments. High- temperature corrosion is a well-known problem in biomass- and waste-fired boilers and is one of the obstacles to overcome in achieving a more sustainable society. READ MORE
