Abstract

ABSTRACTIn this study, corrosion behaviour of double-phase Al1.3CrFeNi chemically complex alloy was investigated, including hot corrosion and electrochemical corrosion. Hot corrosion behaviour of Al1.3CrFeNi alloy was explored in molten 75 wt-% Na2SO4 + 25 wt-% NaCl salt. The result revealed that the corrosion kinetic curve of Al1.3CrFeNi alloy followed the exponential rate rule through mass loss measurement. In addition, it prevented that the formed corrosion layer had obvious stratification including external granular Al2O3 and inner porous Cr2O3 when corrosion time was up to 100 h. Besides, it should be noted that the Al1.3CrFeNi alloy was sensitive to the molten salt containing chlorine, which makes the alloy surface leave voids and bring about acceleration of corrosion. Meanwhile, electrochemical corrosion resistance of Al1.3CrFeNi alloy in NaCl solution with different concentrations (0.6, 1.0 and 2.0 mol L−1) was investigated at room temperature. The results revealed that Al1.3CrFeNi alloy showed superior corrosion resistance in NaCl solution due to the existence of Al and Cr which aid the formation of protective oxide layer.
