Abstract

In this study, the oxidation behavior of Ni-based alloys 625 and 825 in supercritical water containing 5000ppm of dissolved oxygen at 500°C was investigated by scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and laser Raman spectroscopy. Alloy 625 and 825 showed a pitting-like phenomenon after 500h of exposure. The structure and composition of the oxides formed on alloy 625 and 825 were similar, namely, an outer layer of Fe oxides, spinel structures, and Ni(OH)2; and an inner NiO layer. The mechanism for the formation of the oxide films was proposed, and the factors affecting corrosion of Ni-based alloys were discussed in detail. In addition, the corrosion resistance performance of alloy 625 and 825 was compared.
