Abstract
AbstractData recently obtained on model FeCrNi(Mo), 316 L stainless steel, and FeCrNiCo(Mo) passivated surfaces by advanced surface analysis and density functional theory modeling are comprehensively discussed to unravel the multiple effects that molybdenum might have at the nanometer and atomic scales to enhance the stability of passive films. The key role played on corrosion protection by the compositional and structural nanoscale defects of the passive film that originate from the pre-passivation mechanisms of the surface is considered. It is shown how Mo, enriched together with Cr in the nanometer-thick passive film, can combine several effects to enhance the resistance to Cl--induced passivity breakdown. Enriched as Mo(VI) species in the outer exchange layer of the passive film, Mo impedes the deep penetration of Cl- ions and limits their access to the inner barrier layer. Dispersed as Mo(IV) at the interface with the inner layer, Mo protects against the entry of Cl- ions into the defect sites of the Cr(III) oxide barrier. Present as Mo(IV + δ) in the Fe-rich compositional nanoscale defects self-generated by the local failure of Cr supply upon initial formation of the barrier layer, Mo enhances the selective dissolution of iron and its replacement by chromium and molybdenum. By impeding the formation of O vacancies, Mo also increases the resistance against chloride entry in the oxide matrix, thereby curing these the Fe-rich weak sites against Cl--induced passivity breakdown.
