Abstract

Abstract The corrosion behavior of GH3535 alloys in KCl–MgCl2 eutectic salts with or without magnesium (Mg) was investigated using the static immersion tests. The effect of purification treatment on the corrosion of GH3535 specimens was also evaluated by the different analysis. The KCl–MgCl2 salts purified with Mg and reducing service temperature can slow down the corrosion rate of GH3535 specimens. Infrared spectra results showed that purification treatment reduced the content of crystal water in the KCl–MgCl2 salts. The difference of hydrate content in KCl–MgCl2 salts and the diffusion rate of Cr in alloy are the main reasons for the change of GH3535 specimens corrosion rate.
