Insights into thermos-chemical attack of CMAS+NaVO3 mixtures on YSZ materials: an experimental and computational DFT study by Huanjie Fang, Wenqian Wang, Jianhao Yu, Yongxin Wang, Xiaodong He, Chongqing Di, Jibin Pu, Kazuhito Nishimura, Weize Wang

“…Additionally, accelerated precipitation of Y-rich c-ZrO2 grains was exclusively noted in CN-corroded specimen, potentially attributable to the decrease in Y-solubility. Microstructural evolution of YSZ particles in ceramic particles/the melt interaction test indicated an enhanced thermos-chemical corrosiveness of CN, and this phenomenon was further elucidated through a corresponding DFT simulation, which implicated that promoted transport behavior may be the underlying cause.…”
