Investigation on the Marine Corrosion Behavior and Mechanism of Fe₃O₄ Film Using ReaxFF-MD by CHEN Xiangrui, CHEN Yang, WANG Bing, GU Bin

“…In order to explore more deeply and comprehensively the intrinsic mechanisms of corrosion behavior of steel in the marine environment，the ReaxFF molecular dynamics (ReaxFF-MD) method was employed to study the marine corrosion behavior of Fe3O4 in steel passivation film under different NaCl contents，temperatures and strain conditions.By characterizing the surface corrosion morphology，testing the quality loss curve，number density curve，radial distribution function (RDF) curve and simulating the atomic structure evolution at the reaction interface，the process and differences of Fe3 O4 marine corrosion behavior under different conditions were analyzed，and the mechanisms of Fe3O4 marine corrosion and the influence of different factors were revealed at the atomic scale.Results showed that the marine corrosion of Fe3O4 went through three stages: the adsorption stage of water molecules on the surface of Fe3O4 substrate in marine environment，the rapid corrosion stage of substrate and the corrosion saturation stage.During the corrosion process，the increase in NaCl content in the marine environment promoted the adsorption of water molecules on the substrate surface，enhancing the interaction between substrate atoms and water molecules.Moreover，the increase in temperature would cause expansion deformation and enhance molecular motion，reducing the difficulty of bond breaking behavior of matrix atoms.External strain led to an increase in atomic bond lengths and a decrease in atomic coordination numbers within the Fe3O4 matrix，thereby exacerbating the corrosion process.Besides，when the external load was applied，the strain in the substrate increased with the progression of corrosion，and the defect concentration area was generated under high strain loading.…”

Oxidation Resistance of NiCrAlY Coating Prepared by Arc Ion Plating by Bo YU, Xiao-peng CHANG

“…The results: 1) NiCrAlY coating has a high density, there are many fine particles distributed on the surface of the coating, the surface is smooth, no micropores, pits and other defects, the coating and the matrix material formed a close bonding state; 2) after heat treatment, the particles on NiCrAlY coating surface are arranged more closely, the coating changed from NiAl phase to Ni3Al phase, which improved the high temperature oxidation resistance of the coating; 3) during the initial stage of high temperature oxidation, a uniform and dense protective layer of Cr2O3 was formed on the surface of the coating, which effectively prevented the oxygen from diffusing into the inner of the coating, thus greatly improving the anti-oxidation performance; 4) during the oxidation process, the interdiffusion of Cr occurs at the interface between the coating and the substrate, mainly in the form of Cr element diffusing from the coating to the substrate. …”

High reactivity of H2O vapor on GaN surfaces by Masatomo Sumiya, Masato Sumita, Yasutaka Tsuda, Tetsuya Sakamoto, Liwen Sang, Yoshitomo Harada, Akitaka Yoshigoe

“…In the atomic layer deposition process of the Al2O3 layer using H2O vapor, the reactions caused at the interface were more remarkable for p-GaN. If unintentional oxidation can be resulted in the generation of the defects at the MOS interface, these results suggest that oxidant gases other than H2O and O2 should be used to avoid uncontrollable oxidation on GaN surfaces.…”
