duplex stainless steel, SiC coating, thermal conductivity, SCCResumen
The novel 18Cr-18Mn duplex steel arose from the need to prevent catastrophic failures caused by stress corrosion cracking in generator retaining rings. In this work, we propose using this material with a silicon carbide coating to prevent SCC failures in generators, which cause cracking in the materials. Since 18Cr-18Mn duplex steel is not susceptible to stress corrosion cracking, the SiC coating is expected to increase the steel's thermal conductivity and has also been used as a corrosion inhibitor. The steel will be developed, and its composition and microstructure will be characterized using SEM and X-ray diffraction equipment. Electrochemical tests of potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance will be performed to determine its corrosion behavior. Furthermore, its mechanical behavior will be characterized by performing hardness and/or microhardness tests and tensile tests to obtain its engineering properties. It is expected to develop a steel with excellent properties of high thermal conductivity and good resistance to cracking corrosion that is suitable for manufacturing Transformer Generators.
