Abstract
This study provides insight into the empirical PREN formula by studying the effects of alloying elements (Cr, Mo, N, Ti) on the surface acidity and electronic structures of α-Fe2O3. Incorporation of Cr, Mo and N into α-Fe2O3 (0001) surface can weaken the surface acidity and reduce the susceptibility to Cl−, while the influence of Ti is opposite. The doped N into α-Fe2O3 behaves as an acceptor and lowers the concentration of electron carriers due to compensation. A negatively-charged center has formed to repel Cl− after the compensation and ionization of acceptor. The mechanism of pitting resistance improving by Cr, Mo or N is proposed.
