4. Conclusions
- The oxide phase cannot be detected by XRD for an aluminum sheet after 5 min of reaction with high temperature water vapor, indicating that the oxide crystals are nearly amorphous with too low crystallization, resulting in a too small peak strength. The chemical state of the oxide can be detected very well by XPS, and the oxidation product can be determined as Al2O3.
- The needle-like nano-oxidation product is produced at 300 °C on the Al sheet surface after the reaction of the aluminum sheet with high temperature water vapor. The needle-like nano-oxidation gradually is gradually thickened with the temperature rising. Combined with adjacent needle-like oxides after contact, it gradually forms flaky and granular oxide products, so that the aluminum surface presents a porous state as a whole.
- The section analysis reveals that no significant inward oxidizing corrosion layer occurs in the aluminum substrate below the needle-like oxide on the aluminum sheet surface, indicating that the compact oxide layer forms between the needle-like oxide and the aluminum sheet substrate, and it can effectively prevent the infiltration and corrosion of water molecules.
