Notes:
The corrosion characteristics of bulk alumina, SiC, mullite, and CVD mullite coatings on SiC in contact with coal slag were investigated. Uncoated SiC corroded in the presence of coal slag, forming mixed FeSi phases and carbon. Bulk Al2O3 and slag formed a diffusional phase believed to be the spinel hercynite (Fe,Mg)O·(Al,Fe)2O3. After exposure to coal slag, a compositional difference was observed at bulk mullite/coal slag interfaces, yet this diffusional phase did not appreciably degrade the mullite samples and no cracking was observed. CVD mullite coatings offered protection to SiC in a simulated coal gasification atmosphere with corrosion protection dependent on the uniformity of the coating. Microprobe analysis of the CVD mullite coating/slag interface showed the formation of a Fe(Mg)Al.
