要旨 :
R20-5USR (20%Cr-5%Al) ステンレス鋼箔は耐酸化性に優れており,自動車の触媒コンバーター用メタルハニカム材に広く用いられている。本鋼は La と Zr の添加により耐酸化性が向上しているため,酸化試験と酸化皮膜の TEM 観察を行いその機構を検討した。La あるいは La-Zr 添加箔では,生成する Al2O3 皮膜中の酸素拡散が抑制されて酸化速度が低減していた。また,それらの皮膜には La や Zr の粒界濃化が観察され,これら元素は Al2O3 皮膜の粒界に濃化することにより,皮膜中の酸素拡散を抑制して耐酸化性を向上させていると考えられる。
Synopsis :
River Lite 20-5USR (20%Cr-5%Al) stainless steel foil, which contains small amounts of La and Zr, possesses excellent oxidation resistance, and has been widely applied to catalytic converters of automobiles. To clarify the mechanism of improvement in oxidation resistance by La and Zr addition, the oxidation behavior of 50 m thick 20%Cr-5%Al steel foils containing small amounts of La, La 1 Ti and La 1 Zr was examined. The addition of La decreased the growth rate of both Al2O3 layer, which grew until Al in the foil had been depleted, and Cr2O3 layer, which formed between the Al2O3 layer and the substrate after the depletion of Al. The addition of an adequate amount of Zr to alloys containing La made the growth rate of both oxide layers still lower, while the addition of Ti did not. The segregation of La and Zr at grain boundaries in the Al2O3 was observed with TEM. However, Ti segregation was little detected. The reduction in the growth rate of the Cr2O3 layer indicates that the oxygen diffusion rate in the Al2O3 layer is reduced. It is considered that La and Zr segregation suppresses oxygen diffusion via the Al2O3 grain boundaries with the result of decreasing the growth rate of the Al2O3 and Cr2O3 layers.
