Abstract
The influence of Cl−, F−, S2−, SO2−4, SiO2−3, Fe3+, Al3+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions, in phosphoric acid, on the corrosion behaviour of stainless steels 304 and 316, alloys 825, 625, 230 and Hastelloys C and G was investigated. The alloys were tested in 75% H3PO4 in the absence and presence of various concentrations of each of the impurities at 85 °C under reflux and stirring conditions. Chloride ion was the most aggressive of the impurities because of its physicochemical properties. The best corrosion resistance in chloride contaminated H3PO4 was shown by the alloy containing the highest molybdenum and tungsten contents as an insoluble protective basic molybdenum and tungsten chloride film is formed. The presence of sulphide ion in H3PO4 considerably affected the corrosion rate as a result of the increased electrocatalytic activity of the passive film for oxygen reduction as a result of film contamination. Corrosion resistance was improved in such a sulphide environment by increasing the chromium content of the alloys.
