This study investigated the effect of the CaO/SiO2 mass ratio of steel slag on the corrosion behavior of spinel-forming alumina-based castables with a content of MgO (3–7 wt.%). Equiweight mixtures of castables and slags were calculated by FactSage, observed by HMTA, fired at 1350 °C, and investigated by XRD. From these results, we conclude that the presence of SiO2-rich phases accelerates the growth of the liquid phase in a narrow temperature range for the tested samples, which accelerates the degradation of castables. The static corrosion test was conducted by means of the coating method at 1450 °C. The corrosion index (IC) in the regions of castables affected by slags was calculated. Phases and phase distributions were evaluated by SEM-EDS. From these results, we conclude that for the slag with the lowest mass ratio of CaO/SiO2 (1.1), the reaction zone occurs only below the slag-refractory interface, which indicates the aggressive character of this slag.

Abstract The performance of Fe-Si coatings and an iron aluminide (FeAl) intermetallic alloy (FeAl40at%+0.1at%B+10vol%Al2O3) in molten salts containing vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) and sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) is reported. Corrosion and fouling by ash deposits containing V2O5 and Na2SO4 are typical corrosion problems in fuel oil-fired electric power units. High-temperature corrosion tests were performed using both electrochemical polarization and immersion techniques. The temperature interval of this study was 600°C to 900°C, and the molten salts were 80wt%V2O5-20wt%Na2SO4. Curves of corrosion current density vs temperature obtained by the potentiodynamic studies are reported, as well as the weight loss vs temperature curves from molten salt immersion tests. Both Fe-Si coatings and FeAl40at%+0.1at%B+10vol%Al2O3 showed good behavior against molten salt corrosion. The final results show the potential of these coatings and alloys to solve the high-temperature corrosion in fuel oil-fired electric power units.

ABSTRACTThe high temperature corrosion of stainless steels (SUS316L and SUS310S) in the presence of molten carbonate [(Li0.62K0.8)2CO3 and (Li0.52Na0.48)2CO3] has been studied in a CO2-O2 atmosphere by measuring the weight gain of the specimens.The corrosion of SUS316L significantly depended on the reaction conditions. With the carbonate coating (both Li/Na and Li/K carbonates), severe corrosion occurred during the initial period of the corrosion test below 923 K, especially around 823 K. The initial severe corrosion was a local corrosion which produced through holes in the metal specimens and occurred more clearly at low Pco2 with the Li/Na coating than with the Li/K coating. The corrosion became more severe at higher CO2 pressures and lower O2 pressures. In a pure CO2 atmosphere (without O2), the corrosion rate significantly increased at 823 K. The steel was corroded uniformly at that time.
