    Notes: Abstract Fumarase from the syntrophic propionate-oxidizing bacterium strain MPOB was purified 130-fold under anoxic conditions. The native enzyme had an apparent molecular mass of 114 kDa and was composed of two subunits of 60 kDa. The enzyme exhibited maximum activity at pH 8.5 and approximately 54° C. The K m values for fumarate and l-malate were 0.25 mM and 2.38 mM, respectively. Fumarase was inactivated by oxygen, but the activity could be restored by addition of Fe2+ and β-mercaptoethanol under anoxic conditions. EPR spectroscopy of the purified enzyme revealed the presence of a [3Fe-4S] cluster. Under reducing conditions, only a trace amount of a [4Fe-4S] cluster was detected. Addition of fumarate resulted in a significant increase of this [4Fe-4S] signal. The N-terminal amino acid sequence showed similarity to the sequences of fumarase A and B of Escherichia coli (56%) and fumarase A of Salmonella typhimurium (63%).

    Notes: Abstract The growth of the syntrophic propionate-oxidizing bacterium strain MPOB in pure culture by fumarate disproportionation into carbon dioxide and succinate and by fumarate reduction with propionate, formate or hydrogen as electron donor was studied. The highest growth yield, 12.2 g dry cells/mol fumarate, was observed for growth by fumarate disproportionation. In the presence of hydrogen, formate or propionate, the growth yield was more than twice as low: 4.8, 4.6, and 5.2 g dry cells/mol fumarate, respectively. The location of enzymes that are involved in the electron transport chain during fumarate reduction in strain MPOB was analyzed. Fumarate reductase, succinate dehydrogenase, and ATPase were membrane-bound, while formate dehydrogenase and hydrogenase were loosely attached to the periplasmic side of the membrane. The cells contained cytochrome c, cytochrome b, menaquinone-6 and menaquinone-7 as possible electron carriers. Fumarate reduction with hydrogen in membranes of strain MPOB was inhibited by 2-(heptyl)-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide (HOQNO). This inhibition, together with the activity of fumarate reductase with reduced 2,3-dimethyl-1,4-naphtoquinone (DMNH2) and the observation that cytochrome b of strain MPOB was oxidized by fumarate, suggested that menequinone and cytochrome b are involved in the electron transport during fumarate reduction in strain MPOB. The growth yields of fumarate reduction with hydrogen or formate as electron donor were similar to the growth yield of Wolinella succinogenes. Therefore, it can be assumed that strain MPOB gains the same amount of ATP from fumarate reduction as W. succinogenes, i.e. 0.7 mol ATP/mol fumarate. This value supports the hypothesis that syntrophic propionate-oxidizing bacteria have to invest two-thirds of an ATP via reversed electron transport in the succinate oxidation step during the oxidation of propionate. The same electron transport chain that is involved in fumarate reduction may operate in the reversed direction to drive the energetically unfavourable oxidation of succinate during syntrophic propionate oxidation since (1) cytochrome b was reduced by succinate and (2) succinate oxidation was similarly inhibited by HOQNO as fumarate reduction.

    Notes: Abstract The methanotrophs Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) and Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b contain particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) and soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) genes. Other methanotrophs such as Methylomicrobium album BG8 and Methylocystis parvus OBBP contain only pMMO genes. Although molecular genetic techniques are poorly developed in methanotrophs, sMMO genes were expressed in methanotrophs normally containing only pMMO genes. This was achieved by conjugation using broad-host-range plasmids containing the native promoter and sMMO genes from Mc. capsulatus (Bath) and Ms. trichosporium OB3b. sMMO genes derived from Ms. trichosporium OB3b were expressed in an active form in Mcy. parvus OBBP and in Mm. album BG8. Therefore, all of the genes required for active sMMO synthesis were contained on the broad-host-range plasmids and were expressed in the heterologous hosts. Constitutive synthesis of pMMO was observed in Mm. album BG8 when grown at high and low copper-to-biomass ratios, while transcription of the recombinant sMMO genes was only observed under growth conditions of low copper-to-biomass ratios. Therefore, the regulatory protein(s) for sMMO synthesis was also present on the plasmid used, or the heterologous host contained a regulatory system for sMMO. Expression of sMMO genes in methanotrophs containing only pMMO will assist further investigations on the expression and regulation of MMO genes in methanotrophs.

    Notes: Abstract A gram-negative, non-motile, non-marine, nitrite-oxidizing bacterium was isolated from an enrichment culture initiated with a sample from a partially corroded area of an iron pipe of a heating system in Moscow, Russia. The cells were 0.9–2.2 μm × 0.2–0.4 μm in size. They were helical- to vibroid-shaped and often formed spirals with up to three turns 0.8–1.0 μm in width. The organism possessed an enlarged periplasmic space and lacked intracytoplasmic membranes and carboxysomes. The cells tended to excrete extracellular polymers, forming aggregates. The bacterium grew optimally at 39°C and pH 7.6– 8.0 in a mineral medium with nitrite as sole energy source and carbon dioxide as sole carbon source. The optimal nitrite concentration was 0.35 mM. Nitrite was oxidized to nitrate stoichiometrically. The doubling time was 12 h in a mineral medium with 7.5 mM nitrite. The cell yield was low; only 0.9 mg protein/l was formed during oxidation of 7.5 mM nitrite. Under anoxic conditions, hydrogen was used as electron donor with nitrate as electron acceptor. Organic matter (yeast extract, meat extract, peptone) supported neither mixotrophic nor heterotrophic growth. At concentrations as low as 0.75 g organic matter/l or higher, growth of nitrite-oxidizing cells was inhibited. The cells contained cytochromes of the b- and c-type. The G+C content of DNA was 56.9 ± 0.4 mol%. The chemolithoautotrophic nitrite-oxidizer differed from the terrestrial members of the genus Nitrobacter with regard to morphology and substrate range and equaled Nitrospira marina in both characteristics. The isolated bacterium is designated as a new species of the genus Nitrospira. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed a moderate phylogenetic relationship to Nitrospira marina, leptospirilla, Thermodesulfovibrio yellowstonii, "Magnetobacterium bavaricum," and the isolate OPI-2. Initial evidence is given that these organisms represent a new phylum of the domain bacteria.

    Notes: Abstract Nitrosomonas eutropha, an obligately lithoautotrophic bacterium, was able to nitrify and denitrify simultaneously under anoxic conditions when gaseous nitrogen dioxide (NO2) was supplemented to the atmosphere. In the presence of gaseous NO2, ammonia was oxidized, nitrite and nitric oxide (NO) were formed, and hydroxylamine occurred as an intermediate. Between 40 and 60% of the produced nitrite was denitrified to dinitrogen (N2). Nitrous oxide (N2O) was shown to be an intermediate of denitrification. Under an N2 atmosphere supplemented with 25 ppm NO2 and 300 ppm CO2, the amount of cell protein increased by 0.87 mg protein per mmol ammonia oxidized, and the cell number of N. eutropha increased by 5.8 × 109 cells per mmol ammonia oxidized. In addition, the ATP and NADH content increased by 4.3 μmol ATP (g protein)–1 and 6.3 μmol NADH (g protein)–1 and was about the same in both anaerobically and aerobically grown cells. Without NO2, the ATP content decreased by 0.7 μmol (g protein)–1, and the NADH content decreased by 1.2 μmol (g protein)–1. NO was shown to inhibit anaerobic ammonia oxidation.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Reduction of exogenous ubiquinone and of cytochromes by sulfide in membranes of the chemotrophic bacterium Paracoccus denitrificans GB17 was studied. For sulfide-ubiquinone reductase activity, K m values of 26 ± 4 and 3.1 ± 0.6 μM were determined from titrations with sulfide and decyl-ubiquinone, respectively. A maximal rate of up to 0.3 μmol decyl-ubiquinone reduced (mg protein)–1 min–1 was estimated. The reaction was sensitive to quinone-analogous inhibitors, but insensitive to cyanide. Reduction of cytochromes by sulfide was monitored with an LED-array spectrophotometer. Under oxic conditions, reduction rates and extents of reduction were lower than those under anoxic conditions. Reoxidation of cytochromes was oxygen-dependent and cyanide-sensitive. The multiphasic behavior of transient reduction of cytochrome b with limiting amounts of sulfide reflects that sulfide, in addition to acting as an electron donor, is a slowly binding inhibitor of cytochrome c oxidase. The initial peak of cytochrome b reduction is dependent on electron flow to an oxidant, either oxygen or ferricyanide, and is stimulated by antimycin A. This oxidant-induced reduction of cytochrome b suggests that electron transport from sulfide in P. denitrificans GB17 employs the cytochrome bc 1 complex via the quinone pool.

    Notes: Abstract Thiobacillus ferrooxidans was cultivated on 100-nm-thick synthetic pyrite (FeS2) films. The steps of biooxidation were studied with high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The crystallized sulfide was transformed into colloidal sulfur (4–70 nm, depending on the age of the cell and the degree of substrate oxidation; 70 nm initially and 4 nm after oxidation of the pyrite substrate), which was taken up and distributed over an organic capsule around the bacteria. This colloidal sulfur acted as intermediate energy storage and was transferred by contact to daughter cells not directly attached to the sulfide substrate.

However, practical applications are limited by problems intrinsic to sol-gel processing or specific of coating/metal systems. Coatings aimed to improve oxidation and wet corrosion resistance have been the most studied. The results published in the literature show that sol-gel coatings may offer good protection against oxidation. More difficult is to achieve a protection against wet corrosion. An important aspect of the application of the sol-gel method for coating metallic objects is also the deposition technique.

    Notes: Abstract This paper reports the results of work function (WF) changes of undoped PbZrO3 during subsequent isothermal oxidation and reduction experiments at 500°C in the p(O2) range between 10 and 2.1 × 104 Pa. The results, obtained during three consecutive runs, indicate that heating at 500°C leads to continuous changes of surface properties resulting in a complex WF vs. time characteristic. The WF changes during the first oxidation are determined by a p(O2)-induced structural transition. The second oxidation results in two competitive processes, such as rapid increase of oxygen non-stoichiometry followed by a structural transition. Finally, the third oxidation is determined by changes of oxygen nonstoichiometry.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation of CaB6 powders at high temperatures was investigated. The sample oxidized at 873 to 973 K for 25 hours exhibited weight gain with increasing oxidation temperature; the oxidation proceeded in accordance with the parabolic law during the initial oxidation stage. On the other hand, the weight gain of the sample oxidized at and above 1073 K for 4 h was approximately 80%; however even if the oxidation time was prolonged, an additional weight change did not occur. Based on the results of the X-ray diffraction analysis, calcium borate (CaB4O7) was present on the surface of the sample oxidized at 1073 K. The sample showed a good oxidation resistance at 1273 to 1373 K, because the surface film of calcium borate (CaB2O4) formed by oxidation acted as an oxidation resistant layer.

    Notes: Abstract Numerical modeling of the diffusional transport associated with high-temperature corrosion processes is reviewed. These corrosion processes include external scale formation and internal subscale formation during oxidation, coating degradation by oxidation and substrate interdiffusion, carburization, sulfidation and nitridation. The studies that are reviewed cover such complexities as concentration-dependent diffusivities, cross-term effects in ternary alloys, and internal precipitation where several compounds of the same element may form (e.g., carbides of Cr) or several compounds exist simultaneously (e.g., carbides containing varying amounts of Ni, Cr, Fe or Mo). In addition, the studies involve a variety of boundary conditions that vary with time and temperature. Finite-difference (F-D) techniques have been applied almost exclusively to model either the solute or corrodant transport in each of these studies. Hence, the paper first reviews the use of F-D techniques to develop solutions to the diffusion equations with various boundary conditions appropriate to high-temperature corrosion processes. The bulk of the paper then reviews various F-D modeling studies of diffusional transport associated with high-temperature corrosion.

Specific systems reviewed include NiO on Ni, oxides on Fe, Cr and their alloys, and Al2O3 on Al and β-NiAl. The often complementary information provided by the various techniques leads to a better understanding of oxide growth mechanisms on an atomic sale, interfacial segregation phenomena, and the role of reactive elements in modifying transport processes in oxides.

    Notes: Abstract Scaling reactions between pure metals and multiple oxidant gases are reviewed briefly. It is recognized that elemental oxidant activities are usually so low that the actual reactant species are heteronuclear molecules such as SO2, CO2, etc. The formation of duplex, sulfide-oxide scales on iron and manganese, even when sulfide is unstable with respect to oxide, is attributed to direct reaction with SO2. The persistence of the metastable sulfide is due to its preservation by the rapidly growing scale. The reaction of pure chromium with a number of mixed gases is also discussed. The continued formation of carbides and nitrides beneath an external Cr2O3 scale layer indicates that the latter material is permeable to gas species. Interaction among different gas species is observed, and is attributed to selective adsorption on internal surfaces within the chromium oxide. New work on the reaction of alloys with mixed gases is reported. Several austenitic heat-resistant alloys were exposed at 1000°C to gases containing one, two or all of the oxidants carbon, sulfur and oxygen. Gases containing two or more oxidants produced multiple zones of internal precipitation. The precipitates were chromium-rich oxides, sulfides and carbides arranged in order of thermodynamic stability: oxides beneath the external scale, carbides deepest within the alloys and sulfides in an intermediate zone overlapping the oxide zone. Each precipitate zone widened according to parabolic kinetics. This finding confirms the as yet untested prediction made by J. L. Meijering in 1971. However, the rate at which a particular zone grows changes according to presence of other oxidants. Interactions between the oxidants can be large and reaction rates are currently not predictable.

    Notes: Abstract The reaction of iron with sulfur dioxide at 0.1 MPa and 1073 K was studied. The composition and morphology of the scales, transport phenomena occurring in the growing scales, and kinetics of the process were investigated. Scanning electron microscopy and various techniques of X-ray analysis were used. The transport phenomena were studied by marker and by radiotracer techniques. The scales were composed of sulfide and oxides and grew by the outward diffusion of metal. It was concluded that the process initially took place through the reaction of iron with sulfur dioxide molecules. During the next stage of the process the reaction with sulfur dioxide molecules as well as with oxygen molecules is possible.

    Notes: Abstract Thin Y2O3 films were deposited by the electrochemical deposition-pyrolysis process on Fe−25Cr and Fe−25Cr−10Al alloys. The influence of the films on the oxidation behavior of the alloys was studied at 850°C and 1000°C. The results showed that Y2O3 films remarkably decreased the oxidation rate of Cr2O3-forming alloys and spallation of the scales, but they did not decrease the oxidation rate of the Al2O3-forming alloys, although they do reduce the spallation of Al2O3 scales. Y2O3 films remarkably change the morphology of the scales on both alloys, depending on the oxidation temperatures. These results show that the reactive-element effects of Y2O3 films on the Cr2O3 formers and Al2O3 formers are different.

    Notes: Abstract In order to determine the effect of alloy grain size on the oxidation properties of silica-coated austenitic Fe-18Cr-20Ni stainless steel, both coarse-grain (100-μm grain size) and fine-grain (5-μm grain size) forms of the alloy were produced. A 1-μm-thick vitreous silica coating was deposited by chemicalvapor deposition on the alloys, which were subjected to isothermal and cyclic oxidation in air at 900°C. The coarse-grain alloys underwent widespread oxidation below the silica coating, leading to extensive coating spallation. This was attributed to the inability of the alloy to supply a sufficient outward flux of chromium to prevent oxygen penetration through microcracks in the silica coating. Due to an abundance of chromium available at the surface of the finegrain alloy, chromia formed in the microcracks within the silica layer. As a result, the silica-coated, fine-grain alloy demonstrated superior oxidation resistance and excellent adhesion of the coating.

    Notes: Abstract Oxidation kinetics of copper in the temperature range of 973–1173 K atP O 2=21.27 kPa exhibit enhancement and deceleration in the rates with changing polarity compared to normal oxidation under interrupted mode of directcurrent application. These conditions are achieved by connecting the oxidizing copper covered with an initially formed thin oxide film to the positive and negative terminal of a dc source, respectively. However, the influence of direction of the current is found to be opposite under uninterrupted mode of impressed current flow in the same temperature range. The effect of short-circuiting the metal to the outer oxide/air interface on the reaction kinetics is also reported. The rate of oxide-scale growth under normal condition, and two different modes of current applications as well as with shorting circuitry attachment conform to the parabolic growth law. The results pertaining to the two different modes of impressed current have been discussed considering both the phenomena of electrolysis of the oxide electrolyte and the polarization at the two phase boundaries. The enhancement and the reduction in rates under uninterrupted impressed current conditions are explained on the basis of increased and decreased average defect concentrations, respectively, within the oxide layer. The acceleration and deceleration in the rates under interrupted mode of current flow have been explained in the light of sustenance of a steeper and flatter electrochemical-potential gradient of defects, respectively, across the growing-oxide layer. The possible different responses of the metal/oxide and oxide/air interfaces to the impressed current brought into play by two different modes of current application, have enabled to display a better insight on the mechanistic aspects of scale growth under the influence of an externally applied current.

    Notes: Abstract The kinetics, scale composition, and growth mechanism of ceria-coated and blank specimens of manganese oxidation in air were examined. The scale growth obeys the parabolic rate law at 700°C for all specimens. Lower parabolic rate constants for coated specimens are attributed to the presence of a CeO2 external scale. It constitutes a limiting factor of the oxygen activity at the gas-oxide interface. This lower-oxygen activity leads to a less-metal-deficient state of the scale. Due to this, the inner-MnO scale becomes more adherent to the substrate. Preheating at 700°C, in hydrogen (PO 2=10−24 atm), was performed in order to be placed in the MnO stability domain and try to introduce cerium in the manganese-oxide scale. This pretreatment promotes macroscopic bonding in the layer formed during subsequent oxidation in air. It ensures a better scale adherence. A new diffusional-transport mechanism in manganosite is proposed in accordance with all experimental observations of the literature and with the cerium-manganese-oxygen system studied in the present work. This model considers the high Mn3+ stability in octahedral sites of the MnO oxygen ion body. Low-oxygen partial pressure conditions permit the formation of an adherent inner-MnO scale on coated specimens. A CeO2 scale formed above the MnO scale; MnO is present as a minor component in this scale and it is located mainly at the internal interface. The difficulties in forming the cerium-orthomanganite are attributed to the very high stability of MnO related to this wide range of nonstoichiometry and to the low manganese diffusivity through the cerium-containing scale.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation of a chromium PVD coating on pure iron by a continuous 5-kW CO2 laser beam in pure oxygen at 700°C for 20 min was compared with classical furnace oxidation. Laser oxidation induces faster oxidation kinetics, especially at the beginning of oxidation, without modifying the oxide nature (Cr2O3) and morphology. Oxygen-isotopic-exchange tests show that oxygen grain-boundary diffusion does not depend on the oxidation conditions, at least after 12 min oxidation. The effec of the laser treatment is discussed with respect to oxide nucleation, metastable-oxide formation, and oxide-formation-entropy evolution. The oxidation kinetics follow a parabolic law, and the oxide-growth mechanism was attributed to countercurrent oxygen and chromium diffusion along grain boundaries. Oxygen diffusion occurred by oxygen interstitials. The oxidation constant calculated from grain-boundary diffusion in the chromia scale is smaller than the experimental oxidation constant, suggesting the presence of particular short circuits (e.g., microcracks).

    Notes: Abstract The rehealing ability of the protective oxide scales formed on a microcrystalline coating of the Ni-base superalloy K38G has been studied. The results indicated that the oxide scales on the coating may be rehealed when the original scales are destroyed, and the coating still has excellent resistance against high-temperature oxidation. When the original Al2O3 oxide scales spall, mixed-oxide scales of both (Al, Cr)2O3 and TiO2 can form on the surface. The mixed scales are very protective and adherent.

    Notes: Abstract A novel, low-expansion experimental Ni−Cr−Al−Ti−Si bond-coating alloy was investigated in the as-cast state concerning its phase stability, oxidation resistance in air, and interdiffusion with single-crystal IN-100 at 900, 1000, and 1100°C. Isothermal oxidative thermogravimetry was employed up to 500 hr. Interdiffusion was compared to a commercial Ni−Co−Cr−Al−Y alloy on IN-100. Oxidized Ni−Cr−Al−Ti−Si specimens and diffusion couples were characterized by metallography, SEM, EDX, XRD, and XRF. The Ni−Cr−Al−Ti−Si alloy provides good oxidation resistance in air at least up to 1000°C. The alloy is an alumina former. Due to its coarse microstructure, other oxides (e.g., rutile) may form and considerably dominate the oxidation behavior. The kinetics of oxidation were correlated with temperature, formation of phases, and morphology of oxides. Interdiffusion fluxes between Ni−Cr−Al−Ti−Si and IN-100 were mainly directed to the superalloy. They were faster than in Ni−Co−Cr−Al−Y/IN-100 diffusion couples.

    Notes: Abstract The main possible modes of the high-temperature corrosion of binary two-phase alloys by a single oxidant under gas-phase pressures sufficient to corrode only the most-reactive alloy component are examined to compare their behavior with that of single-phase alloys. In the absence of important diffusion processes of the metal components in the alloy, the scale structures expected are different from those typical of single-phase alloys. Moreover, when diffusion in the alloy becomes important, these systems may develop an outer single-phase layer depleted in the most-reactive component, which may lead to different possible scale structures. The conditions for the transition between the various oxidation modes as well as the effect of the various parameters of kinetic, thermodynamic, and structural nature over the corrosion behavior of two-phase alloys are also examined.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation behavior of a cast TiAl intermetallic compound and its sputtered microcrystalline film was investigated at 700–900°C in static air. At 700°C, both the cast alloy and its sputtered microcrystalline film exhibited excellent oxidation resistance. No scale spallation was observed. However, at 800–900°C, the oxidation kinetics for the cast TiAl alloy followed approximately a linear rate law, which indicates that it has poor oxidation resistance over this temperature range. The poor oxidation resistance of TiAl was due to the formation of an Al2O3+TiO2 scale which spalled extensively during cooling. Nevertheless, the sputtered, TiAl-microcrystalline film exhibited very good oxidation resistance. The oxidation kinetics followed approximately the parabolic rate law at all temperatures. Although the composition of the scales was the same as that of scales formed on the cast alloy, the scales formed on the sputtered microcrystalline-TiAl film are adherent strongly to the substrate. No scale spallation was found at 700–850°C, while a small amount of spallation was observed only at 900°C. This indicates that microcrystallization can improve the oxidation resistance of the TiAl alloy.

    Notes: Abstract Nickel-base alloys of nominal composition Ni-25 Wt.% Cr-(0-0.6 Wt.%) RE (RE=Y, La, and Ce) were prepared by conventional arc-melting Ni, Cr, and Y metal. The microstructure of the alloys was characterized by using electron diffraction and X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS) to determine the structure, morphology, and distribution of second-phase particles. Selected alloys were oxidized at 900°C and 1000°C in 1-atm air, and the resultant oxide scales were characterized using the same analytical techniques. The experimentally determined electron-diffraction data were compared with a JCPDF-EDD database, and several compounds were matched. The observed phases were RE oxysulfide, cerium orthochromite-CeCrO3, yttria-Y2O3, yttrium orthochromite-YCrO3, and Ni5Y. The significance of these observations is discussed with respect to the current level of knowledge on the role of sulfur in the reactive-element effect. The ability of the reactive elements to getter sulfur is examined with respect to the thermodynamic stability of the oxysulfide species.

    Notes: Abstract The kinetics, structural aspects, and phase morphologies were studied for tantalum oxidation in air from 600 to 1000°C for samples of different purity (99.15%, 99.76%, and 99.95% Ta). Regardless of purity, tantalum oxidation in the temperature range of 600–800°C as a rule is governed by a linear rate law. From 900 to 1000°C the initial-stage oxidation is governed by the parabolic rate law, which changes to the linear rate law with time. TGA, XRD, SEM, and AES methods were used. The, effect of purity on tantalum oxidation was shown to be determined by the mechanism of intermediate-oxide formation. They are TaO z (Ta2O) at 600–800°C and TaO at 900–1000°C. The final product of oxidation was β-Ta2O5.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation of two Co−Nb alloys containing 15 and 30 wt.% Nb has been studied at 600–800° C in H2−CO2 mixtures providing an oxygen pressure of 10−24 atm at 600°C and 10−20 atm at 700 and 800°C, below the dissociation pressure of cobalt oxide. At 600 and 700°C both alloys showed only a region of internal oxidation composed, of a mixture of alpha cobalt and of niobium oxides (NbO2 and Nb2O5) and at 700°C also the double oxide CoNb2O6, which formed from the Nb-rich Co3Nb phase. No Nb-depleted layer formed in the alloy at the interface with the region of internal oxidation at these temperatures. Upon oxidation at 800°C a transition between internal and external oxidation of niobium was observed, especially for Co−30Nb. This corrosion mode is associated with the development of a single-phase, Nb-depleted region at the surface of the alloy. The corrosion mechanism of these alloys is examined with special reference to the effect of the low solubility of niobium in cobalt and to the relation between the microstructures of the alloys and of the scales.

    Notes: Abstract The role of defect and transport properties of transition metal sulfides on the kinetics and mechanism of high-temperature sulfide corrosion of metals and alloys is discussed. It has been shown, that due to the very high concentration of defects in common metal sulfides, not only pure metals but also conventional high-temperature alloys (chromia and alumina formers) undergo very rapid degradation in highly sulfidizing environments. Refractory metals, on the other hand, are highly resistant to sulfide corrosion, their sulfidation rates being comparable with the oxidation rate of chromium. Pioneering work of Douglasset al. has shown that alloying of common metals by niobium or molybdenum, and in particular combined alloying by molybdenumand aluminum, dramatically decreases the sulfidation rate. A novel Fe−30Mo−9Al alloy has been proved to be highly resistant to sulfide corrosion, its sulfidation rate being comparable with that of pure molybdenum. Even better resistance to highly-sulfidizing environments show new amorphous Al−Mo and Al−Mo−Si alloys, these materials also being simultaneously oxidation resistant. Thus, new prospects have been created for the development of a new generation of coating materials, resistant to multicomponent sulfidizing-oxidizing atmospheres, often encountered in many branches of modern technology.

    Notes: Abstract The influence of shorting circuitry attachment between metal-oxide and oxideoxygen interfaces on the oxidation kinetics of copper, lithium-doped copper (Li: 400 ppm), and chromium-doped copper (Cr: 12 ppm) have been studied in dry air $$(P_{O_2 } = 21.27kPa)$$ in the temperature range of 523–1073 K. Oxide film or scale growth under short-circuiting as well as under normal oxidation conditions conforms to the parabolic rate law. The oxidation kinetics under short-circuiting resulted in decreased rates for Cu and Li-doped Cu up to a temperature of 773 K, while Cr-doped Cu exhibited an enhancement in rate compared to its normal oxidation in the same temperature range. However, above 873 K, all three systems under shorting circuitry attachment exhibited enhanced rates compared to their normal oxidation rates in conformity to the existing theoretical model. Use of additional resistances in series in the outer short-circuit Pt path have clearly established that below 773 K Mott's fieldinduced migration plays the most important role, while at elevated temperatures Wagner's electrochemical potential-gradient factor acts as the main driving force in the scale-growth process. The results have been interpreted on the basis of average defect concentration, the electrochemical potential gradient, electrical field gradient, and transport coefficient in the Cu2O layer.

    Notes: Abstract Alumina-forming ODS superalloys are excellent oxidation-resistant materials. Their resistance relies upon the establishment of a stable, slow-growing, and adherent α-alumina. In the present investigation, these alloys exhibited unstable and relatively less adherent θ-alumina phase, which increased the oxidation rate in the transient stage and converted into α-alumina in the later part of the exposure. The oxide-growth process was found to depend upon various parameters such as temperature, time, and presence of an active elecment in the superalloy. Characterization carried out by XRD, SEM/EDAX, and AES on oxidized ODS and non-ODS alloys demonstrated a significant influence of the active element, Y, on the transformation of θ- to α-alumina. SIMS analysis of two-stage oxidation at 900°C for two different durations evidently showed that the change in the transport process is due to θ-to-α-alumina transformation. On the basis of these results, a new and consistent mechanism is proposed to explain the influence of θ-alumina and its transformation on growth kinetics and the effect of yttrium on the transformation leading to good scale adherence and oxidation resistance.

    Notes: Abstract In a recent study, CO2 has been reported to enhance the oxidation rate of binary titanium-aluminum alloys. The detrimental effect of CO2 was not, however, observed in a ternary alloy containing niobium. In this paper, possible explanations for these observations are examined. First, results from the literature regarding the effects of niobium in improving the resistance of titanium-aluminum alloys are briefly reviewed. Second, a thermodynamic analysis which offers a possible explanation for the beneficial effect of niobium in eliminating the CO2-enhanced oxidation of titanium-aluminum alloys is presented.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation in air of three two phase Cu-Cr alloys with nominal Cr contents of 25, 50, and 75 wt. % was studied at 700–900°C. The alloys corroded nearly parabolically, except at 900°C, when the corrosion rates decreased with time more rapidly than predicted by the parabolic rate law. The corrosion rate decreased for higher Cr contents in the alloy under constant temperature and generally increased with temperature for the same alloy composition. The scales were complex and consisted in most cases of an outermost copper oxide layer free from chromium and an inner layer composed of a matrix of copper oxide or of the double oxide Cu2Cr2O4, often containing particles of chromium metal surrounded by chromia and then by the double oxide. Metallic copper was also frequently mixed with chromia. Cr-rich regions tended to form continuous chromia layers at the base of the scale, especially at the highest temperature. No chromium depletion was observed in the alloy.

    Notes: Abstract “Sol paint” that yields yttrium-based compounds was prepared by mixing four chemical ingredients, yttrium acetate tetrahydrate precursor, diethanolamine, isopropyl alcohol, and hydrochloric acid, and then applied as oxidation/corrosion resistant coatings for Inconel 625 substrates. Annealing the coatings at 500°C developed a coalescent microstructure of coarse particles consisting of amorphous yttrium carbonate as the major component and crystalline yttrium oxide (Y2O3) as the minor one. At 700°C, the yttrium carbonate was transformed into Y2O3 by decarbonation. Increasing the annealing temperature to 900°C led to the formation of the YCrO3 phase yielded by interaction between Y2O3 and the Cr2O3 which had arisen from the oxidation of the underlying Inconel; the YCrO3 phase created a particle coating with a densified microstructure. There were two key factors in mitigating the degree of oxidation of Inconel at 900°C in air: (1) an uptake of oxygen by Y2O3 in the coatings, and (2) a densified coating layer that suppresses the diffusion and permeation of oxygen through it. Furthermore, inhibiting the rate of NaCl-caused corrosion was not only due to the excellent coverage of particle coatings over the entire surfaces of the substrates, but also may be associated with a good adherence of the coatings to the substrates.

    Notes: Abstract We have undertaken a systematic study of the oxidation chemistry for a range of SiOC ceramics derived from silsesquioxane polymeric precursors. This study examines the oxidation for 500 hours at 600, 800, 1000 and 1200°C for four SiOC powders. The material changes upon oxidation were characterized qualitatively by color change and optical microscopy and quantitatively by weight and composition change. In this study we employ a very easy method that uses the weight change upon oxidation and a carbon analysis after oxidation to arrive at the composition of the oxidized SiOC. Combined these qualitative and quantitative techniques have shown that on oxidation at 800 and 600°C the SiOC composition is more rapidly changed to that of silica than oxidation over the same time frame at 1000 or 1200°C. The data indicates that this difference is due to the relative rates of oxidation of the excess carbon versus the Si—C bonds in the SiOC. At lower temperatures initially the carbon oxidation predominates which leads to higher porosity throughout the material and an increase in the surface area with eventually ‘complete’ oxidation to silica. At higher temperatures the Si—C bond oxidation rate is comparable to the rate of oxidation of carbon. This allows a silica-like surface to build up on the SiOC, which slows all subsequent reactions due to the necessity to diffuse O2 in and COx out of the bulk. Under these oxidation conditions materials that originally contain high amounts of excess carbon are more quickly oxidized to silica than those that contain minimal amounts of excess carbon, as confirmed by elemental analysis and optical microscopy. Regardless of the time or temperature of the oxidation conditions no materials were found to be completely stable to oxidation. SiOC materials with low levels of excess carbon showed the best resistance to change upon oxidation.

The silicon oxycarbides evidence oxidative degradation that limits their lifetime as composite matrices. The present study characterizes bonding rearrangements in the oxycarbide network accompanying increases in pyrolysis temperature. It also addresses the changes in susceptibility to oxidation due to variations in the distribution of Si bonded species obtained under different processing conditions. The study is carried out using 29Si nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and a design of experiments approach to model the oxidation behavior. The NMR results are compared with those obtained by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Samples pyrolyzed under inert conditions are compared to those pyrolyzed in reactive ammonia environments.

    Notes: Abstract Microstructure at the interface of ZrC and ZrO2 formed by oxidation of a single crystal of ZrC with 100 faces at 600°C at an oxygen pressure of 2 kPa was observed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The ZrO2 scale was shown to consist of two subscales, zones 1 and 2. The interfacial area in zone 1 was composed of regular lattice fringes corresponding to the 111, 200, and 220 lattices of cubic ZrO2 (c-ZrO2) crystallites 2 to 10 nm in size and an amorphous phase. The growth of crystallites occurred in zone 2, which visualized the interface of zones 1 and 2. Black thin films reminiscent of zone 1 were successfully separated, which were composed of amorphous carbon in which c-ZrO2 particles 2 to 20 nm in size were included.

This paper reviews a number of these systems, drawn principally from the electric power industry, and describes both the current approaches to improving the materials capability, and potential directions for research and development for the future. Particular emphasis is given to cases where the problems related to oxidation and high-temperature corrosion are of major importance.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation of two Ni−Nb alloys containing 15 and 30 wt.% Nb has been studied at 600–800° C in H2−CO2 mixtures providing an oxygen pressure of 10−24 atm at 600° C and 10−20 atm O2 at 700 and 800° C, these pressures being less than the dissociation pressure of nickel oxide. The scales formed on both alloys at 600 and 700° C show only a region of internal oxidation composed of a mixture of alpha nickel and niobium oxides (Nb2O5 or/and NbO2), which formed from both the metal phases present, i.e., Ni8Nb and Ni3Nb. Only small, or even no, Nb depletion was observed in the alloys close to the interface with the zone of internal oxidation at these temperatures. On the contrary, samples of both alloys corroded at 800° C produced a continuous external scale of niobium oxides without internal oxidation. The corrosion mechanism of these alloys is examined with special reference to the effect of the low solubility of niobium in nickel.

    Notes: Abstract The isothermal-oxidation behavior of three oxide-dispersion-strengthened (ODS) alloys, viz., MA 956, ODM 751, and PM 2000, has been examined in air at 1200°C for exposure times up to 4800 hr. During exposure all the alloys formed an external scale of alpha alumina (α-Al2O3). The growth rate of alumina on MA 956 was significantly faster than that formed on ODM 751 resulting in an oxide layer which was about twice as thick after 4800 hr. The oxide-grain morphology on MA 956 was essentially equiaxed containing irregularly shaped, titanium-rich particles, whereas the oxide formed on ODM 751 was slightly finer, distinctly columnar and contained elongated yttrium-rich particles. Spalling of the oxide layer occurred after approximately 2400 hr on MA 956, whereas only slight spalling occurred on ODM 751 even after the longest exposure time. Experiments revealed that the initial surface roughness of PM 2000 can contribute significantly to spalling by enabling the growth of highly convoluted scale layers which are mechanically unstable under compressive stresses (buckling). Internal porosity is also observed in all three alloys after exposure. The pores were generally spherical with small Ti-, Al-, Y-rich particles distributed over their internal surfaces. The amount of porosity increases to a maximum and then slowly decreases.

    Notes: Abstract Isothermal-oxidation characteristics of cast irons containing aluminum (5–15% Al) from 700 to 1000°C in air have been studied. In addition to massgain measurements, the morphology and composition of the oxide scales have been examined by SEM-EDX system and XRD analysis. A normal Fe−5Al−C alloy does not develop protective, adherent scales. Even the addition of misch metal and calcium silicide to such an alloy does not improve its oxidation resistance. But aluminum cast iron develops considerable oxidation resistance only when a sufficient quantity of silicon is also present in the alloy. Treatment of the alloy with misch, metal and calcium silicide together assists in protective scale formation. Among the alloys investigated Fe−15Al−Si−C treated with misch metal and calcium silicide shows minimum oxidation at 1000°C.

    Notes: Abstract This study deals with the influence of various mechanical loadings (fatigue, creep, creep-fatigue) on oxygen diffusion in a particular system, oxidizing nickel. A distinction between the behavior of the oxide layer and underlying nickel was noted during the first step of oxidation at 550°C, in PO 2=1 atm. Mechanical loading causes a decrease of the oxygen mobility through the oxide scale (factor of 103). The oxide thicknesses on nickel undergoing mechanical loadings are different than for an unloaded sample, due to distinct contributions of the oxygen and nickel fluxes in the growing oxide. In the substrate, the ingress of oxygen becomes easier with a constant tensile load (creep). The intergranular-oxygen diffusion coefficient, Di, is increased by a factor of 102 with respect to other samples. In creep, oxygen diffusion takes place along grain boundaries of a structure with smaller grains than in unstrained Ni. A short fatigue period during creep-fatigue decreases the sensitivity of nickel to intergranular-oxygen diffusion.

    Notes: Abstract The major use of high-temperature steel alloys in gasifiers is in heat exchangers for cooling hot syngas, consisting mainly of CO and H2 with lesser amounts of H2O and CO2 and minor quantities of H2S and HCl. Metal temperatures range from 250 to 600°C, gas temperatures from 250 to 1200°C. Because of rapid cooling the composition of the gas does not change with temperature. Therefore the gas is not in equilibrium at the metal surface. Calculations show that such gases have lower oxygen and sulfur pressures than equilibrated gases at the same temperature. This makes the results of previous laboratory studies less appropriate for predicting mixed oxidant corrosion in gasifiers. For this reason the present study was carried out using nonequilibrium gas mixtures, similar to gases, produced in entrained-slagging gasifiers. Most corrosion experiments were carried out at 540°C, as this is a common temperature for superheaters and hot-gas cleanup systems. Iron-base model alloys containing 35% Ni, 20% Cr, and various minor alloying additions were studied. Three corrosion regimes were identified over the range of conditions studied, depending on the sulfur-to-oxygen pressure ratio of the gas and the alloy composition. At high PS 2/PO 2 ratios a somewhat protective FeCr2S4 scale formed on all alloys. Below this layer internal oxidation and sulfidation occurred at a slow rate. At lower PS 2/PO 2 ratios nonprotective Fe(Ni, Cr)S external scales formed. These allow rapid internal oxidation of the chromium in the alloy, resulting in high corrosion rates. Under the same conditions very low corrosion rates are obtained when silicon is added to the alloy, because the presence of SiO2 precipitates makes the internal-oxidation layer protective. Thus, the same corrosion model is operative in all three corrosion regimes: external sulfidation of iron and nickel, together with internal oxidation of chromium and other strong-oxide formers.

    Notes: Abstract Pure titanium and Ti-6Al-4V were exposed at 750°C in an H2/H2O/H2S PO 2≈10−18 Pa and PS 2≈10−1 Pa), H2/H2O (PO 2≈10−18 Pa) and air environments for up to 240 hr. The corrosion kinetics, obtained by the discontinuous gravimetric method, showed that the sulfidation/oxidation kinetics were linear for Ti and linear-parabolic for Ti-6Al-4V in the H2/H2O/H2S environment. Both materials obeyed parabolic rate laws in the H2/H2O atmosphere after a transient period, and linear-parabolic rate laws in air. After exposure to the H2/H2O/H2S atmosphere, the titanium specimen displayed a double scale of TiO2 with an intervening TiS2 film between the double-layered scale of TiO2 and the substrate. Ti-6Al-4V also contained a double layer of TiO2 together with a stratum consisting of Al2S3, TiS2 and vanadium sulfide at the junction of the inner TiO2 layer and substrate. Some Al2O3 precipitated in the external portion of the outer TiO2 layer. Following oxidation in the low-PO 2 atmosphere a double-layered oxide of TiO2 scale formed on both Ti and Ti-6Al-4V. The scale on Ti-6Al-4V also contained an α-Al2O3 film situated between the outer and inner (TiO2) layers. For both materials, multilayered-scale formation characterized air oxidation. In detail a multilayered oxide scale of TiO2 formed on the air-oxidized Ti, while a multilayered oxide scale with alternating layers of Al2O3/TiO2 developed on Ti-6Al-4V oxidized in air.

    Notes: Abstract Concerning the parabolic oxidation of alloys with a low content of a different valence element, we show that the Wagner-Hauffe valence approach contains some inaccuracies. This paper is devoted to the growth of an oxide MO with metal excess or oxygen deficit. The analytical processing consists in solving the differential equation connecting the point defect flux to the oxygen pressure. This equation has been solved analytically in the case where the foreign-element concentration is very high compared to that of the point defects in the pure oxide. On this assumption with a lower-valence dopant, as long as the oxide conductivity remains essentially electronic, the oxidation is limited only by the transport of ionic defects across the scale under the electric-potential gradient. Moreover, an increase of the dopant concentration may lead to an oxide exhibiting partial ionic conductivity. Consequently, the parabolic constant variations as a function of the dopant concentration is not monotonic, contrary to results published before. With a higher-valence dopant, the conductivity always remains electronic, and this result agrees with predictions based on the Wagner Hauffe approach, though the demonstrations are fundamentally different.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation of an Fe-38Ni-13Co-4.7Nb-1.5Ti-0.4Si superalloy (Incoloy 909 type alloy), was investigated at temperatures between 1000 K and 1400 K in Ar-(1, 10%)H20 atmosphere using metallographic, electron probe microanalysis, and X-ray diffraction techniques. The oxide scales consist of an external scale and an internal scale which has an intergranular scale (above 1200 K) and an intergranular scale. The oxide phases in each scale are identified asα-Fe2,O3 (below 1200 K) or FeO (above 1300 K) and CoO · Fe2O3 and FeO · Nb2O5, respectively. The morphologies, the oxide phases and the oxidation rates do not depend on the partial pressure of H2O in the range between one and ten percent in Ar gas. The rate constants for the intergranular-scale formation in this alloy are about one-tenth as large as those in Fe-36%Ni alloy reported previously. At all the temperatures the scales grow according to a parabolic rate law and the apparent activation energies for the processes are estimated.

    Notes: Abstract Fe-21.5 wt. %Cr-5.6 wt. %Al oxidation, at 1000°C, in dry or wet oxygen shows that steam has an influence on the oxide-scale growth mechanism. Steam modifies the kinetics of early-stage oxidation. In dry oxygen, an initial fast linear regime is observed during one hour. Under wet conditions, weight-gain curves follow the same parabolic regime over the entire oxidation test. The scale structure strongly depends on the presence of steam in the gaseous environment. With dry oxygen, the scale is composed mainly ofα-Al2O3 after the initial formation ofγ-Al2O3 identified by ESCA and RHEED. The kinetics transient stage corresponds to the necessary time for the internal part of the initialγ-Al2O3 scale to transform into a continuousα-Al2O3 diffusion barrier. Under wet oxygen conditions, transient oxides are identified as (Mg, Fe) (Cr, Al)2O4, MgAl2O4 (orthorhombic), Al2O3 (hexagonal), these oxides transform into MgAl2O4 (cubic), Cr3O4, Fe2O3,α-Al2O3, with time. When water vapor does not change drastically oxidation kinetics, the induced presence of iron and chromium in the oxide scale could be responsible for weakening the protectiveness of alumina scales.

    Notes: Abstract The initial transient high-temperature oxidation stage for binary alloys forming the most-stable oxide has been examined by means of a numerical procedure based on the finite-difference method. At variance with previous models, the present treatment takes into account the effect of the rate of the reaction at the scale/gas interface over the corrosion kinetics. The calculations concerning the transient stage are developed either using the general parabolic rate law to represent the overall scaling kinetics or using the rate law of the reaction at the scale/gas interface as a boundary condition without imposing any particular rate law to the overall process. A correct analysis of the oxidation behavior of binary alloys during the transient stage must take into account the kinetics effect of the rate of the surface reaction. The concentration of the most-reactive element at the alloy/scale interface changes regularly with time, decreasing gradually from the initial bulk value to its final steady-state value. The present results are in good agreement with those obtained by means of an approximate analytical model developed previously.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation of α-Fe and ɛ-Fe2N1−z at 573 K and 673 K in O2 at 1 atm was investigated by thermogravimetrical analysis, X-ray diffraction, light-optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and electron probe X-ray microanalysis. Upon oxidation at 573 K and 673 K, on α-Fe initially α-Fe2O3 develops, whereas on ɛ-Fe2N1−z initially Fe3O4 develops. In an early stage of oxidation the oxidation rate of ɛ-Fe2N1−z appears to be much larger than of α-Fe. This can be attributed largely to an effective surface area available for oxygen uptake, which is much larger for ɛ-Fe2N1−z than for α-Fe due to the porous structure of ɛ-Fe2N1−z as prepared by gaseous nitriding of iron. The development of a magnetite layer in-between the hematite layer and the α-Fe substrate, at a later stage of oxidation, enhances layer-growth kinetics. After 100 min oxidation at 673 K the (parabolic) oxidation rates for α-Fe and ɛ-Fe2N1−z become about equal, indicating that on both substrates the oxide growth is controlled by the same rate limiting step which is attributed to short-circuit diffusion of iron cations. Oxidizing ɛ-Fe2N1−z increases the nitrogen concentration in the remaining ɛ-iron nitride, because the outward flux of iron cations, necessary for oxide growth, leads to an accumulation of nitrogen atoms left behind.

However, nanocrystallization (or microcrystallization) has recently been found to have almost the same effect as that of reactive elements. This note reviews the effect of nanocrystallization on the selective oxidation and adhesion of Al2O3 scale with particular reference to the author's own results.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation behavior of pure titanium has been investigated in the temperature range of 1000 K to 1300 K in CO2 or Ar-10%CO2. Optical microscopy, electron probe microanalyses, and X-ray measurements on the oxide scales formed during oxidation indicate that their structures are nearly independent of temperature and the corrosion atmosphere. The scales consisted of two layers, an external one and an internal one, having a rutile (TiO2) structure. The parabolic rate law was confirmed for growth of the external scale and the permeation depth of oxygen in titanium with apparent activation energies of 266 and 226 kJ/mol, respectively. The rate-determining diffusion species in the oxidation processes are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation of zirconium at high temperature (T〉 400°C) leads to reaction products of two allotropic oxide (ZrO2 monoclinic and ZrO2 tetragonal). The distribution and proportion of these two phases were studied as a function of time and space by X-ray diffraction techniques. Quantitative analyses are possible after some corrections, and we demonstrate the presence of a phase gradient in the oxide scale. The interest of this nondestructive method is then discussed.

    Notes: Abstract In situ XRD stress determinations have been performed during oxidation of pure iron (p(O2=2 × 10−3 Pa,T=800°C)). The compressive stress, initially present in the substrate due to surface preparation, is completely released at 400°C. Under the test conditions, the in situ compressive-stress level determined in the FeO scale during oxidation is not strongly dependent upon the presence of a ceria coating. On blank and coated specimens, the compressive stress varies from −400 ± 80 MPa to −150 ± 100 MPa during 30 hr oxidation. The decrease is quicker at the beginning of the test performed on blank specimens. Epitaxial relationships between the wüstite scale and iron (under low-pressure starting conditions) caused thein situ compressive stress in the oxide scale to be two times greater compared to the usual test conditions. This indicates that epitaxial relationships can be a source of stress in an oxide scale that ceria coatings may lower compressive stresses.

    Notes: Abstract The chloridation-oxidation behavior of Fe-Cr (0–25 wt. %Cr) and Ni-Cr (0–20 wt.%Cr) alloys was studied at 800°C in three different H2-HCl-H2O(ν) environments. In a low-HCI and low-H2O(ν) environment, where Cr2O3 is thermodynamically stable, the corrosion resistance of the Fe-Cr alloys increased with increasing Cr content in the alloys. In a high-HCl and high-H2O(ν) environment, where FeCr2O4 is stable and CrCl2 is metastable, the corrosion resistance of the Fe-Cr alloys depended similarly on the Cr content. Low-Cr-Fe-Cr alloys exhibited large weight losses, while Fe-Cr alloys with higher than 19 wt. %Cr showed good corrosion resistance. In an environment of high-HCl in the absence of H2O(ν), the evaporative corrosion rate was fast and limited by gas phase diffusion, and independent of the Cr content in the Fe-Cr alloys. Ni and Ni-Cr alloys generally showed good corrosion resistance in the environments of high H2O(ν) because of the low NiCl2 vapor pressure and formation of a protective Cr2O3 scale. However, in the environment of high HCl in the absence of H2O(ν), selective formation and evaporation of CrCl2 occur, which results in Cr depletion and networks of voids for even a high-Cr Ni-Cr alloy.

    Notes: Abstract Chloridation-oxidation studies of nine commercial high-temperature alloys were carried out at 800°C in three different H2-HCl-H2O(ν) environments: (A) both low HCl and H2O(ν) partial pressures, where either Cr2O3 or FeCr2O4 is stable, (B) both high HCl and H2O(ν) partial pressures, where FeCrO4 is stable and CrCl2 is metastable, and (C) high HCl partial pressure in the absence of H2O(ν), where either CrCl2 or Cr2O3 is stable. Although alloy 600 has the lowest Cr content of these nine alloys, it showed excellent corrosion resistance in all three environments because of its high Ni content. Alloy 304, with the lowest Ni content of the nine alloys, exhibited poor corrosion resistance in the environment C, fair resistance in the environment B and good resistance in the environment A. Alloy 800 showed very good resistance in Environment A, and fair corrosion resistance in Environment B; however, it suffered linear weight-loss kinetics when exposed to Environment C The alloys 617, 214, HR-160, X, 230 and 86 have good corrosion resistance in Environments A and B because of their relatively high contents of oxide-scale-forming elements Cr and/or Al. In Environment C, chlorine dramatically decreased the adhesion of the scale on the surface, and aluminum in alloys 617 and 214 hardly showed its usual beneficial effect in combating corrosion, nor does silicon in alloy HR-160. Different corrosion mechanisms are proposed for the alloys in the different environments.

    Notes: Abstract The influence of Y-ion implantation on the oxidation of β-NiAl single crystals has been investigated using SEM, TEM, and STEM. Y ions having an energy of 70 keV were implanted with a concentration of 5×1016 ions/cm2. The oxidation experiments were performed in air at 1223 K. Y-ion implantation resulted in a 45-nm disordered layer. Oxidation of Y-implanted β-NiAl leads to the formation of a fine-grain layer, consisting of γ-Al2O3 containing Y and a θ-Al2O3 layer. After further oxidation the metastable Al2O3 transformed into α-Al2O3, which started at the metal-oxide interface. Y-Al-garnet (YAG) particles were observed and Y segregation to α-Al2O3 grain boundaries has been detected.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation behavior of Ni3Al+2.90 wt.% Cr, Ni3Al+3.35 wt% Co, and Ni3Al+2.99 wt.% Ti alloys was studied in 1 atm of air at 1000, 1100, and 1200°C. Isothermal tests revealed parabolic kinetics for all three alloys at all temperatures. Cyclic oxidation for 28 two-hour cycles produced little spallation at 1000°C, but caused partial spallation at 1100°C. Especially, at 1200°C severe spallation in all three alloys was observed. Although additions of Cr, Co, or Ti to Ni3Al alloys slightly increased the isothermal-oxidation resistance, the additions tended to decrease the cyclic-oxidation resistance. The major difference in the oxidation of the three alloys compared with the oxidation of pure Ni3Al alloys was the existence of small α-Al2O3 particles in the middle of the α-Al2O3 scale and the formation of irregularly shaped Kirkendall voids at the alloy-scale interface.

    Notes: Abstract The early stages of TiAl oxidation at 900°C and 1000°C in air have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The investigations revealed that at the beginning of oxidation, i.e., after 4 min, TiO2 and Al2O3 grow in a preferential orientation on the γ-TiAl substrate. After 4 h of oxidation an oxide scale structure can already be found similar to that known from long-term oxidation. In addition, besides α-Al2O3, the formation of a second aluminum oxide phase and of titanium nitrides is observed. The processes at the metal-oxide interface of oxidation in the early stages, consisting of a repeated cycle of Al2O3 formation, Al2O3 dissolution, outward migration of Al through the scale, and reprecipitation of Al2O3 in the outer scale, are described by a model. The four stages observed in the kinetics of TiAl oxidation are explained on the basis of the results obtained and the structure of the oxide scale.

    Notes: Abstract The corrosion of pure niobium has been studied at 600–800°C in various environments as part of a study of the corrosion resistance of its alloys with iron, cobalt, and nickel to atmospheres of low-oxygen and/or high-sulfur activities. The results have shown that not only the sulfidation but also the corrosion in mixed atmospheres and particularly the oxidation under low oxygen pressures of pure niobium are quite slow, with kinetics rather similar in the three types of gas mixtures used. The good corrosion resistance of niobium to attack by oxygen under low pressures is quite interesting because this element is corroded very rapidly by oxygen under high oxygen pressures, due to the formation of the nonprotective highest oxide Nb2O5 as a main corrosion product.

    Notes: Abstract Oxidation tests of rare-earth-modified and Ti-modified Fe−20Cr alloy foils, which are under consideration for catalytic converter supports, were performed in a synthetic exhaust-gas atmosphere (N2+H2O+CO2) between 900°C and 650°C. Between 900°C and 750°C, the rare earths had no effect on oxide growth rates while Ti increased growth rates. Oxide growth rates for the rareearth alloys at 800°C and 750°C are much lower than those found in the literature for oxidation of Fe−Cr alloys or pure Cr in O2-rich atmospheres. The slow growth rates for the rare-earth alloys agree with literature data for oxidation of stainless steels containing 〉20% Cr in wet atmospheres and are caused by growth of an oxide scale only one grain thick. At temperatures ≤700°C, Fe−20Cr alloys grow massive Fe oxides; however, this can be suppressed by adding rare earths or Ti. To ensure good oxide adherence, free sulfur must be eliminated in the alloy by tying it up with a reactive-element addition. Both Ti and the rare earths can be used to tie up S, but the rare earths are more effective. For converter applications, the optimum alloy composition may contain rare earths for good oxide adherence and a small amount of Ti to suppress growth of Fe-rich oxides.

    Notes: Abstract Using Raman scattering we have investigated the oxidation, in air, of the Fe-Cr-Ni stainless steels Fe-25Cr-20Ni, Fe-25Cr-20Ni-3Zr, and Fe-24Cr-3Zr (wt.%) as a function of temperature in the range 300 to 1000°C. The Raman technique is very sensitive to, and provides a clear identification of, the oxides Fe2O3 and Cr2O3. However, the technique is insensitive to NiO, FeO, and does not give a clear identification of spinels. The Fe−Cr−Ni alloys form chromia scales at temperatures greater than ∼800°C. At lower oxidation temperatures, transient phases are observed. With a 1-h heat treatment at 300°C, we observe the formation of an unidentified scale; we speculate that it is either amorphous or consists of disordered spinel(s). Near 400°C we begin to observe hematite (Fe2O3). The intensity of the Fe2O3 signal increases with temperature to ∼600°C and then decreases, being largely replaced by the signal from Cr2O3. The thickness of the Cr2O3 scale increases with temperature up to ∼1000°C above which spallation becomes apparent. Spinel phases also apparently persist in the scale to 1000°C.

    Notes: Abstract The steady-state kinetics in the high-temperature oxidation of binary A-B alloys containing a mixture of the conjugated solid solutions of B in A (alpha phase) and A in B (beta phase) with exclusive formation of the most-stable oxide BOv have been examined, assuming that the external scale grows on top of a subsurface layer of alpha phase. The results obtained are compared with the corresponding behavior of alloys which are single phase in the whole range of composition. Under identical values of all the parameters involved the concentration of B at the alloy-scale interface is smaller for two-phase than for single-phase alloys under the same concentration of B in the alloy as a result of the restricted flux of B through the alpha-phase layer. As a consequence of this, the two-phase alloys corrode more slowly than single-phase alloys and this difference increases as the solubility of B in the alpha phase decreases. Finally, the simultaneous formation of BOv both externally and as internal oxide is more likely for two-phase than for single-phase materials.

    Notes: Abstract This paper describes the oxidation behavior of low-carbon steel samples in binary gas mixtures of oxygen and nitrogen, at oxygen concentrations ranging between 1% and 15% and temperatures ranging between 1000 and 1250°C. Sample weight gains versus time were analyzed, along with measurements and calculations of sample heating rates due to exothermic heat of reaction at the sample surface. It was found that initial rates of oxidation depended on oxygen content in the gasmixture and that these reaction rates were linear up to oxide thicknesses of 0.4 to 0.5 mm. Calculations of linear oxidation rate constants based on equations for mass transport of oxygen in the gas mixture to the sample surface showed good agreement with those measured experimentally, indicating that the initial period of oxidation is controlled by the mass transport of oxygen to the reaction interface. The linear rate constants showed little dependency on temperature, an activation energy of approximately 17kJ/mole being obtained. Measurements of sample surface temperatures have shown that within this linear-oxidation regime, interfacial temperatures of the samples increase with increasing oxygen contents in the gas mixture, owing to exothermic heats of oxidation. Subsequent oxidation kinetics were found to be parabolic. Measured parabolic rates constants were in good agreement with previous investigations, with activation energy values of approximately 127kJ/mole.

    Notes: Abstract The corrosion of M−Nb alloys based on iron, cobalt, and nickel and containing 15 and 30 wt% Nb has been studied at 600–800°C under low oxygen pressures (10−24 atm at 600°C and 10−20 atm at 700–800°C). Except for the Co−Nb and Ni−Nb alloys corroded at 800°C, which formed external scales of niobium oxides, corrosion under low O2 pressures produced an internal oxidation of niobium. This attack was much faster than expected on the basis of the classical theory. Furthermore, the distribution of the internal oxide in the alloys containing two metal phases was very close to that of the Nb-rich phase in the original alloys. These kinetic, microstructural, and thermodynamic aspects are examined by taking into account the effects of the limited solubility of niobium in the various base metals and of the two-phase nature of the alloys.

    Notes: Abstract The corrosion of three two phase Cu-Ag alloys containing 25, 50, and 75 wt% Ag has been studied at 650 and 750°C. In all cases the alloys formed external scales of copper oxides. At the same time, an internal precipitation of Cu2O within a silver matrix was also produced, with an oxide volume fraction larger for the alloys richer in Cu. Beneath this mixed layer a region of single-phase solid solution of Cu in silver formed for Cu-50Ag and especially for Cu-75Ag. Silver metal remained in the metal-consumption zone, acting essentially as an inert marker, except for a few particles with were incorporated into the growing scales. Both pure Cu and the alloys corroded parabolically, but the rate constants for the alloys decreased with increased Ag content under constant temperature. The various aspects of the corrosion of these alloys are examined by taking into account the possible effects associated with the presence of two metal phases.

    Notes: Abstract The results of an investigation of oxidation of a Ni-1 at.% Cr alloy are presented. Photolithographic marker experiments revealed that the markers were found to reside at the interface between a predominantly columnar outer NiO layer and a very fine grain inner layer of NiO, indicating that substantial oxygen ingress had occurred through the columnar scale. New oxide growth at the metal-oxide interface requires the oxidant to be transported across the oxide layer. Since the measured diffusion rate of oxygen ions along grain boundaries and through the lattice is much too slow to account for the observed microstructural growth (∼1: 1 ratio of inner and outer layers), it is necessary to postulate that the oxidant traverses the scale along some type of short-circuit path other than grain boundaries. Extensive formation of elongated pores and pipelike channels was observed along columnar oxide grain boundaries. Thus, it appears that the transport of oxygen occurs via voids (pores) formed by vacancy coalescence at the columnar grain boundaries. These pores appear to open and close continuously. Formation of new fine-grained oxide in these pores was observed to have sometimes completely resealed the void, suggesting a dynamic nature of the voids.

    Notes: Abstract The initial transient stage in the oxidation of binary alloys forming scales exclusively composed of the most stable oxide is examined by means of a simplified approach which avoids the numerical integration of the diffusion equation for the transport of the metal components in the alloy. At variance with previous solutions to this problem obtained by means of numerical methods, this treatment takes into account also the effect of the gas-scale reaction at the outer surface of the oxide. The concentration of the most-reactive component at the alloy surface changes gradually with time from the initial bulk value towards the corresponding steady-state value without involving any minimum, while the overall rate of the reaction presents a gradual transition from an initial nearly linear towards final parabolic behavior.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation behavior of two MoSi2 variants, one Mo-rich and one Si-rich, and TiSi2 was investigated between 1000 and 1400°C in air, oxygen and an 80/20-Ar/O2 mixture. A protective SiO2 scale develops on MoSi2 in all atmospheres in the temperature range investigated. The SiO2 modification changes around 1300°C from tridymite to cristobalite. This change in SiO2 modification seems to cause an enhanced formation of SiO2 and evaporation of MoO3. The SiO2 grows at the MoSi2-scale interface. In air a two-layer scale grows on TiSi2 between about 1000 and 1200°C with an inner inwards growing fine-grain mixture of SiO2 + TiO2 and an outer outward-growing TiO2 partial layer. TiN formation in the transient oxidation is responsible for the formation of the inner mixed partial layer because in N -free atmospheres a scale of a SiO2 matrix with some Ti oxide precipitates inside is formed. A one-layer scale structure similar as that in N-free atmosphere is found on TiSi2 in air at T 〉 1200°C. In oxygen the TiO2 precipitates grow as needles mostly oriented perpendicular to the surface. Due to the faster oxygen transport in TiO2 compared with SiO2, these TiO2 needles act as “oxygen pipes,” causing an enhanced oxidation of TiSi2 in front of these needles. The SiO2 scale dissolves about 1–2% TiO2. This doping causes a mixed oxygenand Si transport with the consequence that the SiO2 scale on TiSi2 grows partly by oxygen transport inwards and Si transport outwards. The SiO2 modification is cristobalite over the entire temperature range investigated.

    Notes: Abstract The steady-state, high-temperature oxidation kinetics of single phase alloys rich in a most-reactive componentB in binaryA-B systems presenting a limited solubility of the two components (beta phase alloys) have been examined assuming the exclusive formation of the most-stable oxideBO v. Alloys sufficiently rich inB can form externalBO v scales directly in contact with the beta phase, while below a criticalB content the growth ofBO v involves also the appearance of an intermediate layer ofB-depleted solid solution ofB inA (alpha phase). The parabolic rate constants for the oxidation of single-phase beta alloys are lower than those of alloys of identicalB content which are single-phase over the whole range of composition (solid-solution alloys) but higher than for two-phase alpha + beta alloys under the same values of all the relevant parameters. Moreover, the tendency of single-phase beta alloys to form the most-stable oxide simultaneously as an external scale and internally to the alloy is greater than for solid-solution alloys but smaller than for two-phase alloys.

    Notes: Abstract Isothermal and cyclic oxidation resistance at 1000°C in air were investigated for a cast Cr-containing Ni3Al-base alloy and its sputtered nanocrystalline coating. The results indicated that both the cast Ni3Al alloy and its sputtered coating exhibit excellent isothermal oxidation resistance as a result of the formation of Al2O3 scales. However, the cast alloy possesses very poor cyclic oxidation resistance because of the spallation of the initially formed Al2O3 scale during cooling and subsequent formation of NiO. On the contrary, the sputtered Ni3(AlCr) nanocrystalline coating exhibits very good cyclic oxidation resistance due to the significant improvement of the adhesion of Al2O3.

    Notes: Abstract The high-temperature oxidation resistance of laser-surface-alloyed Incoloy 800H with Al has been investigated. Several samples have been exposed to 1000°C in air and subsequently analyzed by optical microscopy, SEM, and electron microprobe X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy in order to determine their microstructure and composition. The results show that the laser-treated materials have a considerably higher oxidation resistance than the nontreated materials due to the formation of an Al-rich layer close to the surface, which acts as a barrier against oxygen diffusion into the bulk.

    Notes: Abstract Several commercially available Ni-base superalloys were exposed isothermally in air at temperatures between 750° and 1000°C and also under cyclic conditions at 1000°C. The kinetics of oxidation were determined and the scales were analyzed by electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Thin adherent chromia-rich scales formed on the alloys at 750°C after 1000 hr. Although Waspaloy showed the lowest weight gain in this test, it also showed the deepest internal corrosion due to oxidation of the grain-boundary carbides. At temperatures up to 1000°C the external scales were also chromia-rich but there was greater internal corrosion. Titanium in the alloys oxidized, diffusing through the chromia scale to form faceted rutile (TiO2) grains at the surface as well as forming TiO2 and TiN internally. The amount of rutile at the oxide surface increased with temperature and alloy Ti concentration. Alumina formed as discrete internal oxides below the chromia scale, although Astroloy when oxidized isothermally at 1000°C developed a semicontinuous internal layer of alumina due to its higher Al content. Under cyclic conditions Astroloy formed a thicker, less-protective scale of transition oxides probably due to its lower Cr content.

    Notes: Abstract The transient state in the oxidation of solid solutions of a most-noble componentA in a most-reactive componentB (beta phase) for binaryA-B alloys presenting a limited reciprocal solubility of the two metals has been examined assuming that theirB content is sufficient for the exclusive growth of externalBO scales. Above a criticalB content of the alloy theBO scales may grow directly on the surface of the beta phase, while below this limit they can only form over a layer ofB-depleted solid solution ofB inA (alpha phase), which appears after a critical time. An approximate analytical expression for the profile of concentration ofB in the alloy has been adopted to calculate the flux ofB in the metal. Moreover, the effect of the reaction between the gas and the external oxide surface has been taken into account using a procedure developed by Wagner for the oxidation of pure metals. The corrosion kinetics as well as all the parameters involved, such as the concentration ofB at the alloy-scale interface, have been calculated as functions of the corrosion time. The results show that, as time proceeds, the instantaneous parabolic rate constant increases and the concentration ofB at the alloy-scale interface decreases, both tending gradually to their corresponding steady-state values. It is also predicted that if the rate of transformation of the beta phase in the alpha phase after the alloy reaches the composition of equilibrium at the interface with the oxide is lower than the corresponding rate of displacement of the alloy surface due to scale growth, the corrosion of beta phase alloys may eventually lead to the formation of two phase mixtures of alpha phase andBO which are expected to grow at much larger rates than in the presence of a uniform continuous alpha layer.

    Notes: Abstract Mechanically-alloyed Ni-base ODS superalloys currently receive attention for application in future gas turbines because they exhibit outstanding mechanical properties at high temperatures. They also protect themselves against oxidation by forming chromia and/or alumina scales. However, little attention has been given so far to the initial stages of oxidation of Ni-base ODS superalloys, containing Cr as well as Al in considerable amounts. In the current work, oxidation at 1150°C was studied for different holding times up to 200 hr for the commercial materials MA6000 and PM3030 which contain. Al in increasing amounts. MA 754, a chromia former, was investigated as a reference. It was shown that for the potential alumina formers MA6000 and PM3030 the continuity and therefore protectiveness of the secondary Al2O3 at later stages is indeed determined by the initial stages of oxidation.

    Notes: Abstract A commercial-grade nickel containing small amounts of carbon, manganese, and silicon was exposed to air for periods up to 288 hr at 1050°C to study the effect of oxidation on the formation of oxides of these impurity elements. Exposure of nickel to air led to decarburization. The maximum amount of decarburization occurred during the initial period of air exposure and the loss in carbon was more in the metal with a smaller section size. Decarburization in the metal produced voids in the oxide scale due to the formation of CO2 gas. It has been shown further that CO and/or CO2 gas bubbles, which form in high purity nickel on grain boundaries during exposure to air at elevated temperatures, cannot exist in commercial-grade nickel where manganese is present as an impurity. Instead, oxides of manganese form in the grain boundaries as well as in the matrix. This is because manganese oxide is more stable than CO or CO2 gas.

The oxidation rate of iodide is first order in the concentrations of α-CD and HClO4, whereas it is second order in the KI concentration.

    Notes: Abstract The present investigation was carried out to understand the effect of metal catalyzed oxidation on glycation and crosslinking of collagen. Tail tendons obtained from rats weighing 200-225 g were incubated with glucose (250 mM) and increasing concentrations of copper ions (5, 25, 50 and 100 μM) under physiological conditions of temperature and pH. Early glycation, crosslinking and late glycation (fluorescence) of collagen samples were analyzed periodically. Early glycation was estimated by phenol sulfuric acid method, and the crosslinking was assessed by pepsin and cyanogen bromide digestion. A concentrationdependent effect of metal ions on the rate of glycation and crosslinking of collagen was observed. Tendon collagen incubated with glucose and 100 μM copper ions showed 80% reduction in pepsin digestion within seven days, indicating extensive crosslinking, whereas collagen incubated with glucose alone for the same period showed only 7% reduction. The presence of metal ions in the incubation medium accelerated the development of Maillard reaction fluorescence on collagen, and the increase was dependent on the concentration of metal ions used. The metal chelator Diethylene triamine penta-acetate significantly prevented the increase in collagen crosslinking by glucose and copper ions. Free radical scavengers benzoate and mannitol effectively prevented the increased crosslinking and browning of collagen by glucose. The results indicate that the metal catalyzed oxidation reactions play a major role in the crosslinking of collagen by glucose. It is also suggested that the prevention of increased oxidative stress in diabetes may prevent the accelerated advanced glycation and crosslinking of collagen.

    Notes: Abstract Studies describe an attenuation of sugar cataract formation by topical administration of ethyl pyruvate. Cataract formation was induced by feeding young rats a 30% galactose diet. Mature cataracts appeared in about thirty days. Instillation of the eye drops containing 5% ethyl pyruvate decelerated the process significantly. Biochemically, the effect was reflected by lowering in the contents of dulcitol and glycated proteins. The ATP levels were also higher in comparison to the placebo treated group. The effects are hence attributable to the effect of pyruvate in inhibiting dulcitol synthesis and protein glycation, in addition to its antioxidant properties and metabolic support. The use of esterified pyruvate instead of the unesterified pyruvate was preferred because of its greater penetration through the cornea and consequently a higher concentration attained in the aqueous humor.

    Notes: Abstract The investigation of structural and electronic properties of the novel family of fullerenes depends on the existence of pure reference materials. Sublimation of the van-der Waals solids is a suitable purification method. Little attention has been paid to the question about the air stability of such sublimed samples in form of crystals or thin films. A combination of thermal desorption spectroscopy, thermal analysis and diffuse reflectance FT-IR spectroscopy is used to show the extent to which oxygen from dry air is intercalated into fullerenes and which detrimental reactivity occurs from attempts to thermally remove („nneal”) air-exposed samples. The conclusion is that any fullerene sample exposed to air will be transformed in part into a polymeric non-fullerene carbon upon thermal treatment to above 400 K irrespective of its initial purity.

    Notes: Abstract The oxidation behaviour of γ-TiAl based alloys with different Nb contents (2–10 At.%) was investigated in air and in argon-20% oxygen at 900 °C using thermogravimetric analysis. The oxide scales were characterized by a combination of optical microscopy, SEM/EDX and X-ray diffraction analyses. Although in all studied cases the presence of niobium improves the oxidation resistance of γ-TiAl, the oxidation kinetics, scale morphology and composition in air differed strongly from that in argon-oxygen. In air the oxidation resistance increases with increasing niobium-content. In Ar/O2 the niobium dependence is far more complex because internal oxidation occurs which is favoured by the presence of niobium. SNMS analysis revealed that the differences in behaviour in the two atmospheres are related to the formation of Ti-rich nitride at the scale/alloy interface during air oxidation. The positive effect of niobium on the oxidation resistance of γ-TiAl is mainly caused by a decrease of the transport processes in the heterogeneous TiO2/Al2O3-surface scale. Nitride formation and/or niobium enrichment at the scale/alloy interface also affect the oxidation behaviour, however these factors are believed to be the result of the decreased transport processes rather than the main reason for the niobium effect.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. The oxidation of methionine in human Insulin-like Growth Factor I (hIGF-I) in aqueous solution was studied with respect to oxygen, visible light and sodium phosphate. Methods. Aqueous solutions of hIGF-I were prepared with different amounts of phosphate and dissolved oxygen. The solutions were stored either in darkness or exposed to artificial visible light. The oxidized hIGF-I was quantified by RP-HPLC. A two level full factorial experimental design, with two levels of each of the three factors studied, was used. Results. Oxidation was found to be positively correlated with light, oxygen content and, interestingly, phosphate. The increasing effect of phosphate on the oxidation appears not to originate from metal contaminants. The influence of both oxygen and phosphate increased with time. The pH dependence of oxidation indicated the formation of a phosphorylated sulfonium ion as an oxidation intermediate. A significant interaction effect between phosphate and visible light suggested participation of radicals. Conclusions. Factorial experiments provide a valuable tool when studying complex mechanisms with interacting factors. The oxidation of methionine in hIGF-I is significantly affected by light but also by the presence of phosphate buffer.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. To study the oxidation of the methionine residue of antiflammin 2 (HDMNKVLDL, AF2) as a function of pH, buffer concentration, ionic strength, and temperature using different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and to determine the accessibility of methionine residue to oxidation. Methods. Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RPHPLC) was used as the main analytical method in determining the oxidation rates of AF2. Calibration curves for AF2 and the oxidation product, methionine sulfoxide of AF2 (Met(O)-3-AF2), were constructed for each measurement using standard materials. Fast Atom Bombardment Mass Spectroscopy (FABMS) was used to characterize the product. Results. Met(O)-3-AF2 was the only oxidation product detected at pH 3.0 to 8.0. The oxidation rates were independent of buffer concentrations, ionic strength, and pH from 3.0 to 7.0. However, there was an acceleration of the rates at basic pHs, and small amounts of degradation products other than Met(O)-3-AF2 were observed in this alkaline region. Conclusions. Oxidation of methionine in AF2 does not cause the biological inactivation reported by other laboratories since this drug is relatively stable under neutral conditions in the absence of oxiding agent.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. The aim of this study is to investigate the plasma protein binding of nicanartine and to measure its antioxidant effect on lipoproteins. Methods. The blood binding was studied with an erythrocyte partitioning method and the lipoprotein oxidation with the conjugated dienes method. Results. Nicanartine was 24.7% LDL (low density lipoprotein)-bound and 29.2% AAG (alphal-acid glycoprotein)-bound. Nicanartine delayed but did not stop the oxidation of the three density classes of lipoprotein HDL (high density lipoprotein), LDL, VLDL (very low density lipoprotein). The addition of AAG to LDL in the conjugated dienes method decreased the nicanartine fraction bound to LDL and decreased its antioxidant effect. The decrease of nicanartine LDL-bound fraction and the decrease in antioxidant effect were not parallel. Conclusions. This suggested that (a) AAG-bound nicanartine dissociated to equilibrate the decrease in LDL-bound nicanartine consummed by oxidation, or (b) the oxidation conditions could involve chemical modifications of nicanartine and therefore modify its affinity for AAG.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. The aim of this work was to study the kinetics of oxidation of methionine in human Insulin-like Growth Factor I (hIGF-I)1 in aqueous solution and in the solid state by the aid of quantification of oxygen. Methods. The oxidized form of hIGF-I was characterized by tryptic peptide analysis, RP-HPLC and FAB-MS and quantified by RP-HPLC. The oxygen content was quantified polarographically by a Clark-type electrode. Results. Second-order kinetics with respect to amount of protein and dissolved oxygen was found to be appropriate for the oxidation of methionine in hIGF-I. The rate constants ranged from 1 to 280 M−1 month−l and had an activation energy of 95 (+/−4) kJ/mole. Light exposure, storage temperature and oxygen content were found to have a considerable impact on the oxidation rates. No significant difference in reaction rates was found for the oxidation of hIGF-I in aqueous solution or in the solid state. A method for decreasing the oxygen content in aqueous solution without purging is described. Conclusions. Polarographic quantification of dissolved oxygen makes it possible to establish the kinetics for oxidation of proteins. The oxidation of methionine in hIGF-I appears to follow second-order kinetics.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. Site-specific protein oxidation induced by prooxidant/metal/ oxygen has been recognized as one of the major degradation pathways of protein pharmaceuticals. Polyaminocarboxylate (PAC) metal chelators are commonly employed to prevent metal-catalyzed oxidation, for they sequester metals. However, studies have indicated that iron chelates may still be catalytically active due to their specific coordination geometry. The purpose of this study was to investigate how PAC chelators affect prooxidant/metal/oxygen-catalyzed oxidation of peptides containing histidine (His) and methionine (Met). Methods. PACs were applied to a model oxidizing system, dithiothreitol/iron/oxygen, which was shown to promote the oxidation of Met to Met sulfoxide in the two model peptides, GGGMGGG and GHGMGGG. Results. PAC chelators did not suppress the peptide oxidation but significantly changed the product pattern. In particular, the yield of Met sulfoxide dropped significantly, while a number of other products emerged, including oxidation products from the N-terminus and His (if present). Overall, the oxidation became rather non-selective in the presence of PACs. The oxidation kinetics were significantly accelerated by nitrilotriacetate (NTA), ethylenediaminediacetate (HDDA), and ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA), but they were slowed down by ethyl-enebis(oxyethylenenitrilo)tetraacetate (EGTA) and diethylenetriaminepentaacetate (DTPA). Meanwhile the PAC chelators were also observed to undergo degradation. Scavengers of hydrogen peroxide or hydroxyl radicals exerted only partial inhibition on the peptide oxidation. Conclusions. The results of this study are rationalized by the abilities of PAC chelators (i) to extract iron from potential binding sites of the peptides to impair site-specific oxidation, and (ii) to promote the formation of ROS different from the species formed at the peptide metal-binding sites.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose. To elucidate the structure of a degradation product arising from a lyophilized formulation of a cyclic heptapeptide, and to provide a mechanism to account for its formation. Methods. Preparative HPLC was used to isolate the degradate in quantities sufficient for structural studies. A structure assignment was made on the basis of the compounds spectroscopic properties (UV, MS, NMR) and the results of amino acid analysis. Results. The degradate was identified as a benzaldehyde derivative arising from the oxidative deamination of an aminomethyl phenylalanine moiety. The extent of formation of this product is influenced by the amount of mannitol used as an excipient in the formulation. A mechanism is proposed whereby reducing sugar impurities in mannitol act as an oxidizing agent via the intermediacy of Schiff base adducts which subsequently undergo tautomerization and hydrolysis. Conclusions. Reducing sugar impurities in mannitol are responsible for the oxidative degradation of the peptide via a mechanism that involves Schiff base intermediates. This mechanism may be a potential route of degradation of other arylmethyl amines in mannitol-based formulations.

Platelet aggregation in the presence of native HDL2 and HDL3 and autooxidized HDL3 does not differ from the control (plasma with buffer). A conclusion is made on the important role of autooxidized HDL2 as a thrombogenesis-inhibiting factor in atherosclerosis.

    Notes: Abstract Mössbauer spectra (MS) of anapaite (Ca2 Fe2+(PO4)2 · 4H2O) and of a sample after being immersed in a 4% H2O2 solution at room temperature (RT) over 12 days (hereafter an4ox) were collected at temperatures in the range 4.2 to 420 K and 11 to 300 K respectively. All MS consist of symmetrical doublets, hence magnetic ordering was not observed. The temperature dependencies of the Fe2+ centre shifts of anapaite and an4ox were analysed with the Debye model for the lattice vibrations. The characteristic Mössbauer temperatures were found as 370 K ± 25 K and 340 K ± 25 K, and the intrinsic isomer shifts as 1.427 ± 0.005 mm/s and 1.418 ± 0.005 mm/s respectively. From the external-field (60 kOe) MS recorded at 4.2 and 189 K for the non-treated sample, the principal component V zz of the electric field gradient (EFG) is determined to be positive and the asymmetry parameter η ≈ 0.2 and 0.4 respectively. The temperature variations of the quadrupole splittings, ΔE Q(T), cannot be interpreted on the basis of the thermal population of the 5 D electronic levels resulting from the tetragonal compression of the O6 co-ordination. The low-temperature linear behaviour of ΔE Q(T) is attributed to a strong orbit-lattice coupling. A field of 60 kOe applied to anapaite at 4.2 K produces magnetic hyperfine splitting with effective hyperfine fields of −136, −254 and −171 kOe along the principal axes Ox, Oy and Oz of the EFG tensor respectively. Additional oxidation treatments in solutions with various H2O2 concentrations up to 20% and subsequent Mössbauer experiments at room temperature, have revealed that the anapaite structure is not sensitive to oxidation since eventually only a small amount of Fe2+ (∼6.5%) is converted into Fe3+.

    Notes: Abstract The suitability of a polymeric composite material for use as part of an anode structure in a cathodic protection system has been examined. The composite material was a conductive blend (volume resistivity typically 1.5 Ω cm) of carbon black in a polyethylene binder. A long operational lifetime for the material demands that the rate of carbon loss must be low. In the work reported here, electrochemical and in situ analytical techniques were employed to characterise the performance of the material over a wide range of anodic current densities in a variety of aqueous electrolytes. The predominant anodic electrochemical reaction on the polymeric material is CO2 formation in acid and neutral solutions, which causes loss of carbon from the surface and the development of a non-conducting layer of polyethylene. The characteristics of the reaction suggest that it occurs via the discharge of H2O. In alkaline pH, however, the anodic reactions are more complex. A high OH− concentration (pH 12 or higher) favours the formation of oxygen rather than CO2, particularly at low anodic potentials. The presence of CO3 2− in the electrolyte catalyses the evolution of oxygen at pH values as low as 9. The electrochemical formation of oxygen always occurs in parallel with the generation of some humic acid in the solution.

    Notes: Abstract The normal spectral emissivity and its time variation were measured systematically for a total of thirty kinds of pure metals and alloys at temperatures between 780 and 1200°C. The spectral data were obtained at about 100 wavelengths from 0.55 to 5.3 μm under different environmental conditions including oxidation. The spectral data were stored in a database with supplementary information on the specimens. Clear oscillations of the spectral emissivity with time and wavelength were observed for nickel, Inconel, and SUS444 as surface oxidation progressed, while emissivity variations were rather monotonic for other metals such as titanium, cold-rolled steel, and SUS310S. The surface roughness was measured for all specimens by a contact-type instrument before the measurements, and recorded as supplementary information in the database. The database was built on a personal computer operating system (Windows95) to facilitate the dissemination to researchers and engineers interested in the emissivity of metals. Indexes to the emissivity data are metal name, wavelength, temperature, time, and degree of oxidation represented by an effective thickness of oxide film on the specimen surface.

    Notes: Abstract A system for measuring time variations of the normal spectral emissivity at wavelengths ranging from 0.55 to 5.3 μm was developed and applied to metal specimens in vacuum and oxidizing environments in the temperature range from 780 to 1200° C. The specimen was heated to high temperatures by passing a direct current in a vacuum chamber, and the surface oxidation was controlled by a low-pressure oxidizing gas. The specimen temperature was measured by a single-band (0.9-μm) radiation thermometer viewing at a cavity formed in the specimen from the rear side. The front surface of the specimen was observed by a multiband (112-wavelength) radiation thermometer to measure the normal spectral emissivity. The effective normal spectral emissivity of the specimen cavity was evaluated to be 0.94±0.05 at a wavelength of 0.9 μm in comparison with a metal tube having a small blackbody hole on the rear. The measurement uncertainty of the normal spectral emissivitiy by the system was estimated to be 5 to 10% of the emissivity value in most of the interesting ranges of emissivities, temperatures, and wavelengths.

    Notes: Abstract The thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity of zirconium-1 wt% niobium samples were measured before and after the process of their oxidation in air. A special procedure was used to dissolve the gas and to smooth out its concentration in the alloy. The basic experiments were performed under high vacuum under steady-state temperature conditions. The temperature range was 300–1600 K. for the pure alloy and 300–1100 K for the samples containing oxygen. It was found that the thermal conductivity—oxygen concentration relation reverses its sign from negative at low and middle temperatures to positive at temperatures above 900 K. The relation between the electrical resistivity and the oxygen content does not show this feature. The Lorenz function was found to have an anomalous temperature dependence.

    Notes: Abstract We report on UV/Visible transmission measurements of aluminum coated Lexan filters designed as UV blocking filters for soft x-ray detectors. Transmission of the filters in the 2300-8000 Å wavelength range is significantly higher than expected. It cannot be accounted for applying a simple slab model of the transmission and adopting material properties reported in the literature. We show that this is due to interference effects which are strongly dependent on the filter geometry, and to oxidation of exposed aluminum surfaces and/or chemical interaction with the plastic support. The results of this work have led to the redesign of the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility High Resolution Camera UV blocking filters.

Such effects are not observed for the analogous system (Fe2O3+SnO2). Based on the calcination and reduction behaviour of these two mixed oxide systems and the redox potentials of the involved cations, the possible reasons for the observance of synergistic effects for the (Mn2O3+SnO2) system are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Catalysts of the composition La1−xSrxFeO3−δ, 0⩽x ⩽1, have been tested for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane in the temperature range 300–800°C. The catalyst is active above 400°C, giving a maximum yield of 37% ethylene at 650°C. Above 650°C, synthesis gas was formed together with methane, suggesting that the reforming reaction and thermal cracking of ethane took place. The catalytic data are compared to conductivity measurements on the same material, and a good correlation between the activity and p-type conductivity has been found. In the phase diagram for the system LaFeO3-SrFeO3−δ, a phase separation to two types of (La, Sr)FeO3−δ perovskites was observed in the La/Sr binary composition in the temperature range below 800°C. The phase separation can elucidate the dependency of the catalytic activity on its p-type conductivity.

    Notes: Abstract Temkin's theory of rates of catalytic reactions on non-uniform surfaces is extended to the MoO3-catalyzed oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde. Two types of sites are assumed to be present, an oxygen atom site that can be modeled with uniform properties and a metal atom site characterized by non-uniform properties both for ethanol chemisorption to an ethoxide intermediate and the conversion of this intermediate to acetaldehyde. The rate-limiting step is the cleavage of a C-H bond in the absorbed ethoxide intermediate. Non-uniform surface kinetics leads to a kinetic rate expression of the form $$v = kP_{C_2 H_5 OH}^{1 - m} P_{O_2 }^{(1 - m)/4} P_{H_2 O}^{ - (1 - m)/2} $$ . Such a rate expression, withm=0.14, is shown to provide a good fit to kinetic data for the selective oxidation of ethanol on a silica supported molybdenum oxide catalyst.

TCM interacts with the surface of hydroxyapatite to form its chlorinated analogue, chlorapatite, which suppresses the oxidation of CO to CO2. Thus, in the oxidative coupling of methane the beneficial effects of the addition of TCM to the feedstream result, at least in part, from the suppression of the further oxidation of CO.

    Notes: Abstract Titanium silicate molecular sieve TS-1 has been found to be an efficient catalyst for Baeyer-Villiger (BV) oxidation of cyclic and aromatic ketones under triphase conditions (solid catalyst along with two immiscible liquid reactants in the absence of any cosolvent), using dilute H2O2. Reactions studied are the oxidation of cyclohexanone and acetophenone. Whereas in the case of cyclohexane,ε-caprolactone, a BV product along with hydroxy and diketones is formed, in the case of acetophenone, phenyl acetate, a BV product along witho- andp-hydroxyacetophenone is formed. The acidic nature of titanium peroxo species, stabilised by water, is proposed to be responsible for such reactions under triphasic reaction conditions.
