Effect of Mo and Cr on S-Induced Intergranular Fracture in γ-Fe
S is a common corrosion medium for austenitic stainless steels. The severe intergranular fracture of austenitic stainless steels occurs in sulfur environments. In this paper, the permeation of S at different atomic positions for three symmetric tilt grain boundary types, i.e., Σ5(210), Σ5(310), and...

description | S is a common corrosion medium for austenitic stainless steels. The severe intergranular fracture of austenitic stainless steels occurs in sulfur environments. In this paper, the permeation of S at different atomic positions for three symmetric tilt grain boundary types, i.e., Σ5(210), Σ5(310), and Σ9(114) have been computed using first-principles calculations. S has the strongest segregation tendency in the Σ5(210) grain boundary. A high content of S at the grain boundary indicates harm to the grain boundary. Sulfur segregation in the grain boundaries can weaken the strength of the metallic bond. When Mo and Cr are present at the Σ5(210) grain boundary, the sulfur-induced embrittlement is inhibited. With increased S concentration at the grain boundary, the coexistence of Mo and Cr can suppress the intergranular fracture of S on the grain boundary. The reason why high-Mo stainless steel has excellent sulfur-induced intergranular corrosion resistance is explained at the atomic level. |
