Hot-corrosion behavior of calcium-magnesium aluminosilicate melts on Ba_1/3Sr_1/3Ca_1/3Al₂Si₂O₈

Hot-corrosion behavior of Ba_1/3Sr_1/3Ca_1/3Al₂Si₂O₈ (BSCAS) in the presence of molten calcium-magnesium-aluminum-silicate (CMAS) is investigated in the temperature range of 1250–1350 °C. In comparison, the hot corrosion behavior of Ba_0.5Sr_0.5Al₂Si₂O₈ (BSAS) is also studied under the same conditions. The results indicate that CMAS corrosion of both BSCAS and BSAS is caused by the interdiffusion of Ba/Sr and Ca between CMAS and corroded samples. The presence of Ca cations in BSCAS lowers the diffusion driving force of Ca cations between CMAS and BSCAS, resulting in a reduced diffusion rate of Ca cations from CMAS into BSCAS. Moreover, the sluggish diffusion effect of multi-component cations hinders the outward diffusion of Ba/Sr cations from BSCAS. Thus, the BSCAS shows a better CMAS corrosion resistance than BSAS.
