Investigation of adhesion of CaCO_3 crystalline fouling on stainless steel surfaces with different roughness

摘要

Fouling adhering experiments on AISI 304 stainless steel surfaces with different roughness had been performed in boiling supersaturated calcium bicarbonate solution. The effect of surface roughness on adhesion of fouling is limited, and the adhesion of fouling does not have a simple linear relationship with the surface roughness of samples. The surface with roughness in middle is more easily induced to form "transitional interface" which connects the fouling and matrix surface. It is also found that the crystalline types of fouling are changed in the fouling process due to the variation of metallic ions in reaction solution.
