Characterization of carbon deposit with controlled carburization degree (original) (raw)

Materials Science-Poland, 2013

Abstract

Promoted nanocrystalline iron was carburized in a differential tubular flow reactor with thermogravimetric measurement of mass changes. The carburization process was carried out in the presence of pure methane under atmospheric pressure at 650 °C to obtain different carburization degrees of the sample. The carburized iron samples were characterized by the X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscope in the energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy mode, thermoprogrammable oxidation, and Raman spectroscopy. As a result of the methane decomposition on the nanocrystalline iron the following nanocrystalline products were observed: iron carbide Fe3C, graphite, iron and nanotubes. The crystallinity of the samples increased with the carburization degree.
