Effect of gas nitriding on CO2 corrosion for 35CrMo steel after surface nanocrystallization.
This paper studies the influence of ultrasonic surface rolling procession (USRP) and gas nitriding on CO2 corrosion for 35CrMo steel. The microstructure of the nanocrystallized surface caused by USRP and the nitrided layer were studied by means of HRTEM and optical microscope, respectively. High temperature high pressure autoclave was adopted to study the CO2 corrosion behavior of 35CrMo steel. The characteristics of CO2 corrosion scales on 35CrMo steel were investigated by the SEM, EDS and XRD techniques. The experimental results show that after USRP about 250 μm rheological layer forms on the metal surface, and the average grain size is 25 nm. USRP thicken the nitrided layer, 10 hours' gas nitriding at 550 degrees C lower the corrosion rate while the combine of gas nitriding and USRP enhances the corrosion resistance furthest; and the surface nanocrystallization increases the content of Cr and changes the corrosion product film from FeCO3 to FeCO3 and Cr2O3, and from loose crystal structure to amorphous flocculent structure. The corrosion resistance of 35CrMo has been improved significantly by USRP and gas nitriding.
