The effect of solution annealing on localized corrosion resistance of Alloy 22 was studied in electrolytes of varying composition. The experiments were carried out on Alloy 22 specimens with the resultant thick dark brown oxide film from the solution annealing process still intact. The effect of solution annealing on the localized corrosion resistance of Alloy 22 was found to be electrolyte specific within the temperature range investigated.

The corrosion resistance of Alloy 22 (UNS No. N06022) was studied in 5 M CaCl2 electrolyte at various temperatures. Potentiodynamic polarization was used to examine the electrochemical behavior and measure the key potentials. Alloy 22 was found to be susceptible to localized corrosion in this high-chloride [10 M Cl−] environment at temperatures as low as 60°C.

Alloy 22 (N06022) has been extensively tested for general and localized corrosion behavior both in the wrought annealed condition and in the as-welded condition. In general, the specimens for laboratory testing are mostly prepared from flat plates of material. It is important to determine if the process of fabricating a container will affect the corrosion performance of this alloy. Thus, specimens for corrosion testing were prepared directly from a fabricated full-diameter Alloy 22 container. Results show that both the anodic corrosion behavior and the localized corrosion resistance of specimens prepared from a welded container were the same as those from flat welded plates.

AbstractAlloy 22 (N06022) is a highly corrosion resistant nickel based alloy. Extensive research has been conducted in the last eight years on the corrosion behavior of Alloy 22, mainly regarding its resistance to localized corrosion. Less attention has been paid to the general corrosion resistance in highly concentrated brines that may result from the deliquescence of salts contained in dust. Salts such as mixtures of NaCl, KCl, CaCl2, NaNO3, and KNO3 may deliquesce at temperatures above 100°C through absorption of moisture from the air. Electrochemical tests were used to assess the general corrosion behavior of Alloy 22 in brines with chloride and nitrate concentrations ranging from 8 molal to 100 molal in the temperature range 100 to 160°C. The effect of mixed anions and cations was also studied. Results show that, even for short-term immersion periods, the corrosion rate of Alloy 22 in high temperatures super concentrated brines is generally below 10 μm/year.

Alloy 22 is a nickel base alloy highly resistant to all forms of corrosion. In very aggressive conditions (e.g. hot concentrated chloride containing brines) Alloy 22 could suffer localized attack, namely pitting and crevice corrosion. The occurrence of localized corrosion in a given environment is governed by the values of the critical potential (Ecrit) for crevice corrosion and the corrosion potential (Ecorr) that the alloy may establish in the studied environment. If Ecorr is equal or higher than Ecrit, localized corrosion may be expected. This paper discusses the evolution of Ecorr of Alloy 22 specimens in 5 m CaCl2 + 5 m Ca(NO3)2 brines at 100°C and 120°C. Two types of specimens were used, polished as-welded (ASW) creviced and non-creviced specimens and as-welded plus solution heat-treated (ASW+SHT) creviced specimens. The latter contained the black annealing oxide film on the surface. Results show that, for all types of Alloy 22 specimens the Ecorr was higher at 120°C than at 100°C, probably because a more protective film formed at the higher temperature. Specimens with the black oxide film on the surface showed more oscillations in the potential. None of the tested specimens suffered crevice corrosion probably because of the relatively high concentration of nitrate in the electrolyte, R = [NO3]/[Cl] = 1.
