Oxidation of Ni-30%Cr according the Wagner Model Thibaut DUBÉDAT tdubedat@messel.emse.fr Tutor : Krzysztof WOLSKI
What is the Wagner model ? • The diffusion processes determine the oxidation of alloys. • Theoretical analysis of the diffusion processes. Published in 1952, on the title : TheoreticalAnalysis of the Diffusion ProcessesDetermining the Oxidation Rate of Alloys, by Carl Wagner.
Plan Introduction • Presentation of the Wagner model • Analyze of the results obtained by the Wagner model • Future experimental study Conclusion
Introduction • Ni-30%Cr Pt-30%Ni • The oxidation of an alloy Δxoxide Alloy Oxide x 0 Δxmetal x 0 Initial Situation After oxidation during dt

Presentation of the Wagner model (II/VI) The main hypothesis of the Wagner model : • Migration of nickel ions takes place by jumping of nickel ions from normal lattice sites to adjacent vacant sites. • Migration of electrons occurs by exchange of electrons between divalent and trivalent ions. • Thermodynamic equilibrium in the oxide scale • No variation of interdiffusion coefficient • The oxidation rate follows a parabolic law :
Presentation of the Wagner model (III/VI) • The Flux of metal ions : • Equilibrium condition for the reaction 2 Ni (alloy) + O2 (gaz) = 2 NiO : (aA)4/z Pox =πox (with z=2) (NA(e)is « equilibrium mole fraction « for a given ambient partial pressure, in the interface oxide-air.).
Presentation of the Wagner model (IV/VI) • The equality of flux of nickel atoms in the interface alloy-oxide give us : • The Fick’s second law: • We define : (1) (2) (3)
Presentation of the Wagner model (IV/VI) • By (1), we have : • So, I define : • The equation (2) become : • So, with erf the error function :
Presentation of the Wagner model (V/VI) With : we find : For NA(i)= 0.22 and NA(b) = 0.3, α=0.99 and γ= 100 : (NA(b) = 0.3 = « bulk mole fraction ») (4)
Presentation of the Wagner model (VI/VI) By (1), we find the molar fraction of nickel at the interface alloy-oxide NA(i) verify : with : (5)
Analyze of the results obtained by the Wagner model (I/I) Influence of D or γ (=D/k°c) on the value of NA(i) : In T = 850°C, for Ni-Pt, we have : NA(e)= 6.4. 10-7, K°c= 4.1. 10-12 cm²/sec et D ≈ 3.1. 10-12 cm²/sec, and γ=0.76. I do vary D from 5.10-14 to 1.10-9ie γ from 0.012 to 243.
Future experimental study (I/II) • Analyze of the oxidation at 950°C of three samples oxidized during 1h, 10h and 100h. • Observation in Metallography • Observation of the profile of concentration in the SCM • Observation of the profile of concentration in EDS and Spectrometry Auger ...
Future experimental study (II/II) • First results obtained by Metallography Sample oxidized during 1h x100 Sample oxidized during 10h x100
Conclusion • With the Wagner model, it is possible to have the concentration profile of the Chromium in the alloy. • But, NA(i) may depend strongly of the value of diffusion coefficient!! • My future study will study validate or not the utilization of Wagner model to describe the concentration profile of the Chromium in the alloy.
Why this abrupt variation of NA(i) for γ ≈ 10 ? • Interpretation Mathematics : and y = 0.3 • Interpretation Physics : • For γ<10, the diffusion in the alloy is too weak. • Each a Cr arrive in alloy-interface, he diffuse « instantaneously » in the oxide scale…
