Inorganic Non-metallic Materials • INM – – – Ceramics Glass Inorganic binders (cement, gypsum) Monocrystals Glass-ceramics – Inorganic Non-Metallic Materials = Ceramics (US) – Ceramics (UK) = pottery, construction ceramics, porcelain, refractories. . . • Traditional INM – based on silicates or silica Corrosion of Materials Course

Structure of INM cristobalite Corrosion of Materials Course

Structure of INM K 2 O-Si. O 2 glass Corrosion of Materials Course

Structure of INM silica glass crystalline silica (quartz) Corrosion of Materials Course

Structure of INM periclase Mg. O Corrosion of Materials Course

Structure of INM zeolite Corrosion of Materials Course

Corrosion of INM • corrosion of metals – electrochemical process • corrosion of INM – dissolution – reaction with liquids (aqueous solutions, melts) – reaction with gasses • sometimes connected with subsequent degradation Corrosion of Materials Course

Dissolution congruent incongruent t=0 t>0 Corrosion of Materials Course

Congruent dissolution solidus liquidus 1) surface reaction 2) transport of surface reaction products into the solution bulk (diffusion) Which process controls the overal rate of dissolution? Corrosion of Materials Course

Models of congruent dissolution • • non-steady diffusion steady state diffusion surface reaction and steady state diffusion Corrosion of Materials Course
