Abstract:
For the compatibility of austenitic stainless steels, including AISI 304, AISI 316L and AISI 347H, with binary nitrate-carbonate molten salts at 600 degrees C, dynamic corrosion tests were carried out for 1000 h under different flow conditions. The corrosion rates of three types of stainless steels in nitrate salts were investigated using the weight loss method. The microstructures were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) to study the corrosion behavior of these steels. The results showed that, at a flow rate of 2 m/s, the corrosion rates (Rdepth) of 304, 316L, and 347H stainless steels were 0.0217 mm/y, 0.0122 mm/y, and 0.0076 mm/y, respectively. The corrosion rates of these steels were 3.85, 3.4, and 2.2 times higher compared to static conditions, indicating that the increase in flow rate exacerbated the corrosion of stainless steel. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the primary corrosion products are iron oxides. Due to the presence of Cr and Ni in 316L stainless steel, it exhibits better corrosion resistance than 304 stainless steel under dynamic conditions. Similarly, the addition of nickel and Nb in the composition of 347H stainless steel enhances its corrosion resistance.
