Abstract
This study investigates the corrosion behavior of 308L stainless steel in simulated small modular reactor boron-free and boron containing environments after exposure of long period. It reveals the twin crystal structures of the porous Fe₃O₄-dominated outer layer and the dynamic transformation of the oxide film components, from Cr₂O₃ in the early stages to FeCr₂O₄ with extended exposure. The mechanism of boron incorporation into the film and its role in enhancing corrosion resistance were also analyzed. These findings elucidate oxide film mechanisms, offering innovative insights for optimizing material design and extending SMR component lifespan under varying water chemistries.
期刊介绍：
Corrosion occurrence and its practical control encompass a vast array of scientific knowledge. Corrosion Science endeavors to serve as the conduit for the exchange of ideas, developments, and research across all facets of this field, encompassing both metallic and non-metallic corrosion. The scope of this international journal is broad and inclusive. Published papers span from highly theoretical inquiries to essentially practical applications, covering diverse areas such as high-temperature oxidation, passivity, anodic oxidation, biochemical corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and corrosion control mechanisms and methodologies.
This journal publishes original papers and critical reviews across the spectrum of pure and applied corrosion, material degradation, and surface science and engineering. It serves as a crucial link connecting metallurgists, materials scientists, and researchers investigating corrosion and degradation phenomena. Join us in advancing knowledge and understanding in the vital field of corrosion science.
