Abstract

Abstract : Acmite (NaFeSi2 O6 ) films were formed on steel coupons via solvothermal reaction of silica, sodium hydroxide, and 1, 4‐butanediol in an autoclave under autogenous pressure. Systematic variation in processing variables led to homogenous coatings comprised of pinacoidal acmite grains with an average grain size of ~33 μm. The coatings were produced on the steel coupons from reactant conditions of 0.635 m SiO2, 2.546 m NaOH, and 3.087 m 1, 4‐butanediol for 72 h at 240°C.
