Influence of passivation pretreatment in common acid and alkali on oxidation behaviour of Ti 3 SiC 2 at 500°C

Abstract

Passivation treatments in NaOH, H₂SO₄ and HCl were conducted in order to improve the oxidation resistance of Ti₃SiC₂ at 500°C. The oxidation resistance of Ti₃SiC₂ passivated in NaOH was the greatest of any treatments due to the formation of an amorphous film during passivation treatment, which became dense, crystalline and seemingly highly protective during oxidation. The detrimental phase transformation of TiO₂ was limited by doping with SiO2. Different levels of corrosion happened during passivation treatment in H₂SO₄ and HCl, which is harmful to oxidation resistance.
