Formation of a highly protective amorphous aluminum silicate layer on steel during granite-dry steam interaction
Formation of an amorphous Al2Si2O5 layer on a steel pipe surface, after granite-dry steam interaction in the presence of copper, has been determined by XRD analysis and SEM (with energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis). Kinetic data indicate high-protective properties of the Al2Si2O5 layer, which formed a three-dimension substrate similar to5 mum thick, after 100 h exposure.
