Honeycomb structure with oxygen-poor pores at the top of magnetite layer on a martensitic steel CLAM exposed to lead-bismuth eutectic at 500 ºC
TL;DR: In this article , a model based on the local dissolution of magnetite crystals was proposed to explain the formation process of honeycomb structures, which can lead to much oxygen loss in the spinel layer, which may induce pitting corrosion and promote its development.

F. García Ferré,A. Mairov,Daniele Iadicicco,Daniele Iadicicco,M. Vanazzi,M. Vanazzi,Serena Bassini,Marco Utili,Mariano Tarantino,M. Bragaglia,F.R. Lamastra,Francesca Nanni,Luca Ceseracciu,Yves Serruys,P. Trocellier,Lucile Beck,Kumar Sridharan,Marco Beghi,F. Di Fonzo +18 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the results show that the coatings retain structural integrity under the conditions investigated, which is a crucial prerogative for corrosion protection with ceramic coatings, and they also show that corrosion is not observed in either pristine (4000h) or irradiated (1000h) coated samples.
