Protection of stainless-steels against corrosion in sulphidizing environments by Ce oxide coatings: X-ray absorption and thermogravimetric studies

Yttrium addition effect on isothermal and cyclic high temperature oxidation behaviour of 304 stainless steel

“…The sol-gel treatment was performed by dipping the specimen in an yttrium hydroxide colloidal solution at room temperature before quick drying in air at 50uC for 5 min. [24][25][26][27] The aim of this treatment is to cover the specimen surface with a 1-2 mm thick coating of semicrystallised yttria.…”

The effect of yttrium ion implantation on the sulphidation of incoloy 800H

“…As part of a research project directed at the improvement of the sulphidation resistance of stainless steels [8,9], it was decided to study the effect of yttrium implantation also. In this Letter the first results obtained are reported.…”

The protective properties of thin alumina films deposited by metal organic chemical vapour deposition against high-temperature corrosion of stainless steels

“…Modification of the "natural" oxide may be realized by ion implantation of yttrium and/or cerium for instance [1,2] and by the sol-gel method [3] and may result in a reasonably good protection against sulphidation. The direct application of a different oxide for protective purposes was carried out by Bennett [4] who applied the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) technique for the coating of several stainless steels with SiO2.…”
