Abstract
The nuclear power molten salt reactor of heat storage metal tank and fluid pipe are usually consumed by corrosion in high temperature chlorinated environment, and the structure material thickness design reference for the corrosion rate is critical. This work focused the compatibility study of high Cr-Co-Ni-Si type HR160 superalloy with molten KCl-MgCl2/air corrosion at 700°C for 4-240 h. By XRD, SEM and OM observation analysis and mass recording curves showed that the corrosion rates curve of HR160 was parabolic in 96 h, the corrosion rate was in the range of 1~2.5 mm/a between 15~63 μm uniform corrosion product layer in 96 h. The mass loss was mainly due to the oxidative chlorination of Cr elements, and the outer shell layer was a porous film structure of MgCr2O4 corrosion products peeled off by the corrosion products with the growth of immersion corrosion time. The second outer uniform corrosion product layer was dominated by Mg2SiO4 and Si oxidation reaction. Low viscosity molten salt through the porous at high temperature, sparse corrosion products layer continues to contact with the substrate uniform corrosion, and the reaction generated by the high mobility of chlorine gas, which penetrate the oxidation layer and the formation of low melting point volatile metal chloride with the alloy.
