Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metal material testing technology, and relates to a test device and method for the steam oxidation mass transfer mechanism of metal materials. Background Technology
[0002] Metal components in applications such as coal-fired power plants and nuclear power plants are often exposed to high-temperature, high-pressure steam. The oxidation rate of metallic materials in a steam environment is much higher than in dry air or dry oxygen. This is mainly due to the different oxidation mass transfer mechanisms in these two environments: in steam, oxide film growth is primarily controlled by the inward diffusion of oxygen-containing ions through the oxide film, while in dry air, oxide film growth is dominated by the outward diffusion of metal ions through the oxide film. As for oxygen-containing ions, they are simply oxygen atoms (O₂). 2- Or OH - Whether the oxygen in the oxide film originates from water vapor decomposition, dissolved oxygen in water, or a combination of both remains unknown. Therefore, research on the oxidation mass transfer mechanism of metallic materials in water vapor environments is still limited to theoretical analysis, lacking direct experimental evidence. The fundamental reason for this situation is the difficulty in designing and implementing experiments. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an experimental device that can be used to study the steam oxidation mass transfer mechanism of metallic materials, in order to clarify the oxidation mass transfer mechanism of metallic materials in water vapor environments, and provide a basis for improving and protecting the oxidation performance of metallic materials, as well as for the treatment and control of oxide scale in power plants.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0025] This invention discloses an experimental apparatus for studying the mass transfer mechanism of steam oxidation of metallic materials. The apparatus features four gas pathways, each connected to a reaction chamber via independent pipelines for 18O2, H216O, D218O, and an inert gas. Valves control enable rapid gas switching, allowing for flexible combinations of experimental conditions. Examples include single steam oxidation (introducing only H216O or D218O steam to study oxidation mechanisms in a pure steam environment), mixed gas oxidation (simultaneously introducing H216O and O218O to simulate a high-temperature steam environment containing dissolved oxygen), and staged isotope switching (e.g., introducing H216O first, then switching to D218O), with mass spectrometry analysis distinguishing oxygen ion diffusion paths at different stages. This significantly improves the apparatus's flexibility and versatility. Furthermore, the heating process is designed with a first heating component that precisely controls the reaction chamber temperature, simulating the actual service temperature of the metallic materials. The second heating element 18 and the third heating element 19 independently regulate the temperature of the H216O and D218O storage components, ensuring that the liquid stored material vaporizes as needed without overheating and decomposition. Simultaneously, the inert gas storage component is used to completely eliminate air interference before the experiment, serves as a carrier gas during the experiment, and acts as a protective gas after the experiment to prevent secondary reactions between the high-temperature oxide film and residual water vapor / oxygen during cooling, which could affect the experimental analysis results. This device is simple in design and easy to use, and can be effectively used for the study of the vapor oxidation mass transfer mechanism of metallic materials.
[0026] In addition, the present invention also discloses an experimental method for the steam oxidation mass transfer mechanism of metallic materials, which uses an experimental apparatus for the steam oxidation mass transfer mechanism of metallic materials as described in the present invention.
[0027] First, in the experiment, H₂¹⁶O (light water) and D₂¹⁸O (heavy oxygen heavy water) were used for staged oxidation, through ¹⁶O / 18 O isotope labeling of the oxygen source, combined with the D / H isotope difference, can distinguish the migration direction of oxygen ions in the oxide film (inward or outward) in subsequent analysis. If the gas / oxide interface is enriched with 18O, it indicates that metal cations diffuse outward through the oxide film; if the metal / oxide interface is enriched with 18O, it indicates that inward diffusion of oxygen ions is dominant. Simultaneously, the decomposition of D₂¹⁸O may form D-hydroxyl groups (OD⁻) or 18O₂. 2 - By analyzing the distribution depth of D in the oxide film, it is possible to determine whether hydroxyl groups participate in the mass transfer process (e.g., the gradient distribution of D in the film indicates hydroxyl diffusion), thus enabling the determination of the interaction mechanism between hydroxyl groups and oxygen ions. Therefore, isotope labeling enables the visualization of ion diffusion pathways.
[0028] Secondly, a mixed oxidation experiment of 18O2 and H216O was introduced to simulate the dissolved oxygen environment in water. By comparing the distribution difference of 18O after oxidation with single water vapor and oxidation with dissolved oxygen, the contribution ratio and action stage of dissolved oxygen can be quantitatively analyzed, such as whether it participates in the formation of oxide film or accelerates ion migration, thus realizing the analysis of the role of dissolved oxygen.
[0029] In summary, the method in this invention transforms invisible ion diffusion paths into detectable signal gradients through isotope labeling. Combined with a phased experimental design, it achieves for the first time experimental verification of the oxygen ion / metal cation diffusion-dominated mechanism, visual proof of hydroxyl participation in the oxidation process, and quantitative analysis of the role of dissolved oxygen. This provides direct experimental criteria for optimizing the antioxidant properties of metallic materials. For example, by confirming that the oxidation of a material is dominated by cation diffusion, a surface barrier layer can be designed to inhibit metal ion migration, thereby improving the service life of the material.
[0030] Furthermore, to make 18 O2, gaseous H2 16 When O reacts simultaneously with the third test sample, 18 O2 and gaseous H2 16 The volume ratio of O is 1:(10 8 ~10 9 This method can effectively simulate the dissolved oxygen environment in water, making the test results closer to actual working conditions and increasing the reliability of the test results.
[0031] Furthermore, gaseous H2 16 The reaction time between O and the second test sample is t1, and the gaseous D2... 18 The reaction time between O and the first test sample is t2, where t1 = t2. The initial oxidation (time t1) establishes the basic oxide film, and the secondary oxidation (time t2) achieves diffusion kinetic tracking through isotope switching. By comparing the oxide films on the surfaces of the first and second test samples... 16 O and 18 By analyzing the distribution pattern of O and combining it with the distribution of H and D in the oxide film on the surface of the second test sample, the time sequence analysis of the dynamic mass transfer process can be effectively achieved.
[0032] Furthermore, by analyzing gaseous H2 16 The reaction of O with the first test sample establishes a baseline oxide film, clarifying whether the mass transfer process of the alloy is dominated by outward diffusion of metal cations, inward diffusion of oxygen-containing anions, or both. The oxidation time of the first test sample is the same as that of the second and third test samples. By comparing the thickness of the oxide film on the surfaces of the first and second test samples, 16 O and 18Based on the distribution of O and the analysis of the aforementioned oxidation mass transfer process, we can infer how dissolved oxygen participates in alloy oxidation and whether it involves oxygen exchange between O2 and H2O.

[0042] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0043] Example 1

The above valves enable flexible control of the gas path during the test.
[0051] In addition, to facilitate the suspension and fixation of the samples, the sample holder is equipped with several sample suspension components.
