Durability evaluation of Ni‐Cr‐Mo super alloys in a simulated scrubbed flue gas environment

Abstract

Results of DC electrochemical measurements of four Ni‐base alloys are presented. The tests were conducted in 1 percent sulphuric acid, containing 0.2 percent chlorides at temperature 353K. Gravimetric test, performed in the same conditions, revealed excellent properties of alloy signed A3. Pitting corrosion of alloy A4 at the test conditions after long exposure at 353K was observed and was confirmed by the applied tests. The multiple anodic polarization (MAP) method is proposed to control alloys’ susceptibility to pitting corrosion.
