The binding energy of coatings and the diffusion process of oxygen in the melt were simulated, and then the simulation results were compared with the experimental results. The simulation results indicate that for each of the three simulated coatings, inordinate interfacial reactions have occurred between the coating and the melt. The binding energy results show that Y_2O_3 has the best stability and is the most difficult to break down. Zr O_2 has the greatest decomposition energy and is the easiest to break down in the melt. Besides, the molecular dynamics indicate that the diffusion coefficient of the oxygen atom in Al_2O_3 is larger than that in the other two coatings, indicating that oxygen diffusion in Al_2O_3 is the fastest at a given temperature. The experimental results show that the oxygen concentration of the melt with Al_2O_3 coating is the highest, and the oxygen diffusion is of similar magnitude to the simulation values, from which the conclusion can be obtained that the oxygen concentration is significantly influenced by the coating materials.展开更多
