Effect of carbon addition on the passivity of hypoeutectic high chromium cast irons

Abstract

The effect of adding C on the passivity of hypoeutectic high chromium cast iron (HCCI) was investigated in a pH 8.4 boric–borate buffer solution. The microstructure of HCCI is composed of austenite and carbide phases, whose fractions and chemical compositions are influenced by the amount of C added. Electrochemical and surface analyses revealed that the addition of C in the HCCI increased the defect densities in the n-type and p-type semiconductive oxide layers on the austenite and carbide phases, respectively.
