Abstract
The use of ternary molten carbonate mixtures Li2CO3—K2CO3—Na2CO3 as heat transfer systems for the CSP technology as well as for heat storage for the chemical industry is widely under consideration. Experiments were carried out on austenitic steels DMV310N compared to nickel alloys in order to evaluate the corrosion properties in a molten 33 wt.% Li2CO3—33 wt.% K2CO3—34 wt.% Na2CO3 mixture at 700 and 750 °C for 1000 h in closed crucibles. The austenitic steel DMV 310N passivates by the formation of an outer LiFeO2 scale due to its iron content. If the iron content is low (< 5 wt.%), as in Alloy 625 the alloy forms NiO, which obviously does not passivate the material and leads to a strong internal corrosive attack. It has been shown by short-term experiments (3, 30, 300 and 1000 h) that a quick formation of LiFeO2 is necessary to avoid chromium dissolution and NiO formation. If LiFeO2 is formed quickly, the growth of the internal corrosion front by chromium dissolution is retarded.
期刊介绍:
Oxidation of Metals is the premier source for the rapid dissemination of current research on all aspects of the science of gas-solid reactions at temperatures greater than about 400˚C, with primary focus on the high-temperature corrosion of bulk and coated systems. This authoritative bi-monthly publishes original scientific papers on kinetics, mechanisms, studies of scales from structural and morphological viewpoints, transport properties in scales, phase-boundary reactions, and much more. Articles may discuss both theoretical and experimental work related to gas-solid reactions at the surface or near-surface of a material exposed to elevated temperatures, including reactions with oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, carbon and halogens. In addition, Oxidation of Metals publishes the results of frontier research concerned with deposit-induced attack. Review papers and short technical notes are encouraged.
