Nickel superalloy Hastelloy-N, alloy X-750, stainless steel 316 (SS316), and stainless steel 304 (SS304) are among the alloys used in the construction of molten salt reactor (MSR). These alloys were analyzed for their corrosion resistance behavior in molten fluoride salt, a coolant used in MSR reactors with 46.5% LiF+ 11.5% NaF+ 42% KF. The corrosion tests were run at 700 °C for 100 h under the Ar cover gas. After corrosion, significant weight loss was observed in the alloy X750. Weight loss registered in SS316 and SS304 was also high. However, Hastelloy-N gained weight after exposure to molten salt corrosion. This could be attributed to electrochemical plating of corrosion products from other alloys on Hastelloy-N surface. SEM–energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS) scans of cross-section of alloys revealed maximum corrosion damage to the depth of 250 µm in X750, in contrast to only 20 µm on Hastelloy-N. XPS wide survey scans revealed the presence of Fe, Cr, and Ni elements on the surface of all corroded alloys. In addition, Cr clusters were formed at the triple junctions of grains, as confirmed by SEM–EBSD (Electron Back Scattered Diffraction) analysis. The order of corrosion resistance in FLiNaK environment was X750 < SS316 < SS304 < Hastelloy-N.

Abstract In order to identify the corrosion properties of three kinds of austenitic stainless steel used in solar power plant, experiments were conducted to test the weight loss after dynamic immersing in molten salt, the corrosion thickness rates per year was obtained, and the surface morphology by SEM and component of corrosive product by EDS were analyzed. The test result showed that the corrosion resistance of 316L and 347H are outstanding, much better than 304. The corrosion resistance order of the three material is 304 <316L< 347H. 304 and 316L can be considered as the candidate materials of low-temperature molten salt storage tank, and 347H can be used as the materials of high-temperature molten salt storage tank and molten salt heat exchanger.

The corrosion resistance of laser-welded composite arch wire (CoAW) with Cu interlayer between NiTi shape memory alloy and stainless steel wire in artificial saliva with different acidities and loads was studied. It was found that both the solution pH and the stress had a significant influence on the corrosion behaviors of the CoAW samples. Decreasing the solution pH or increasing the loading stress caused the increase of Cu release and weight loss. The corroded morphology formed on the surfaces of the CoAW was the consequence under the combined effect of corrosion and stress.

The present study aims to evaluate the hot corrosion behaviour of the Ni-based alloy Superni- 75 in the molten salt environment of Na2SO-60%V2O5 at 900°C under cyclic conditions. The thermogravimetric technique was used to establish the kinetics of corrosion. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive analysis and electron probe microanalysis techniques were used to analyse the corrosion products. Superni-75 has successfully provided the hot corrosion resistance to the given molten salt environment. The hot corrosion resistance of the Superni-75 has been attributed to the formation of uniform, homogeneous and adherent thick layer of the scale consisting mainly of oxides of nickel and chromium, and refractory Ni(VO3)2. These oxides and refractory nickel vanadates have blocked the penetration of oxygen and other corrosive species to the substrate.

The hot corrosion behavior of Fe40Al intermetallic alloyed with Ag, Cu, Li, and Ni (1–5 at.%) in NaCl-KCl (1 : 1 M) at 670°C, typical of waste gasification environments, has been evaluated by using polarization curves and weight loss techniques and compared with a 304-type stainless steel. Both gravimetric and electrochemical techniques showed that all different Fe40Al-base alloys have a much higher corrosion resistance than that for stainless steel. Among the different Fe40Al-based alloys, the corrosion rate was very similar among each other, but it was evident that the addition of Li decreased their corrosion rate whereas all the other elements increased it. Results have been explained in terms of the formation and stability of an external, protective Al2O3layer.

In this research, hydroxyapatite (HA)–chitosan–titania nanocomposite coatings were formed on 316 L stainless steel using electrophoretic deposition (EPD) from alcoholic (methanol and ethanol) suspensions containing 0.5 g/L chitosan and 2 and 5 g/L HA and 2 and 5 g/L Titania. The effect of different parameters on the deposition rate, morphology, and corrosion resistance of the coatings in simulated body fluid (SBF) at 37 °C has been studied. The coatings’ properties were investigated using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Based on the results of this work, it was found that the deposition rate in ethanolic suspensions is lower than methanolic ones. Moreover, the coating surface was smoother when the ethanol was used as a solvent in suspensions in comparison to the ones where methanol was the solvent. The coating deposited from a suspension containing 0.5 g/L chitosan, 2 g/L HA, and 5 g/L titania with ethanol as solvent had the highest corrosion resistance in SBF at 37 °C.

Metals are increasingly used in engineering due to their high specific strength. However, some of pure metals do not posses good corrosion resistance. Therefore carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) has been studied to overwhelm the corrosion existed on the metal’s surface. CNMs are synthesized directly on various metal substrates by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) technique without addition of any external catalyst, in reactor at temperature of 800°C. Argon with a flow rate of 200ml/min was used as a carrier gas and acetone as a carbon source. In this study, two different metals were used as metal substrate: mild steel and stainless steel 316. The morphology, existence of CNTs and elemental analysis of the CNMs on metal substrate are evaluated using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), respectively. It was proven that the different element composition of metal substrate influenced the size and morphology of CNMs. The most suitable metal to grow CNTs was found to be stainless steel.

Effects of elemental sulfur on corrosion behavior of super 13Cr martensitic stainless steel were investigated by utilizing weight loss test, and the micro morphologies and chemical elements of corrosion scales were characterized by using SEM and EDS. The results showed that corrosion resistance of super 13Cr stainless steel was aggravated by the hydrolytic action of sulfur, the corrosion rate of super 13Cr stainless steel increased with the increasing of sulfur content, and firstly increased and then decreased with the increasing of temperature due to the activated adsorption and existential state of sulfur at the different temperatures.

Abstract High temperature corrosion is a serious problem on tlie heat exchanger tubes of recuperators because they encounter an corrosive environment at maximum temperature around 900°C. These tubes were found to be corroded via oxidation, sulfidation and molten salt corrosion. Particularly molten salt corrosion could be the most severe corrosion mechanism. As a protective coating for recuperators, nickel and cobalt based self-fluxing alloys, iron based amorphous alloy and chromium carbide cermet coatings were considered. These coatings were prepared by an arc spray and or/not fusing or a HVOF spray. Their molten salt corrosion resistance was tested, and the high temperature corrosion resistance in a SO2 containing atmosphere was examined. Also microstructures of the coatings were studied after corrosion tests.
