Molecular dynamics-based characterisation of early oxide in Fe/Cr alloys

Abstract
The addition of Cr is known to work as an effective prevention against oxidation in Fe-based alloys. This can be attributed to the peripheral oxide, the structure of which is dependent on the composition of the alloy. Using Molecular Dynamic (MD) calculations with a Reactive Force Field (ReaxFF) potential, we successfully identify several oxide structures arising during initial oxide formation in [100] Body-Centered Cubic (BCC) Fe1𝑥Cr𝑥 alloys. This structure was found to differ between the surface and bulk. Further, by gradually increasing the Cr content, we manage to track the structural Cr-dependence of both the bulk- and the surface oxide. Both in the surface and bulk, phase changes in... (More)

The addition of Cr is known to work as an effective prevention against oxidation in Fe-based alloys. This can be attributed to the peripheral oxide, the structure of which is dependent on the composition of the alloy. Using Molecular Dynamic (MD) calculations with a Reactive Force Field (ReaxFF) potential, we successfully identify several oxide structures arising during initial oxide formation in [100] Body-Centered Cubic (BCC) Fe 1− x Cr x alloys. This structure was found to differ between the surface and bulk. Further, by gradually increasing the Cr content, we manage to track the structural Cr-dependence of both the bulk-and the surface oxide.
