Abstract
Ni-Cr alloys are known for their resistance to high temperature oxidation. The kinetics of scale formation and the nature of the scale in these alloys are affected by NaCl liquid or vapor. There have been a few investigations dealing with the influence of NaCl on long-time exposure. But the nature of reaction at short times can provide information on the initiation of such attack. In this investigation, Ni-Cr alloys with Cr varying from 0 to 25 wt% were exposed to NaCl vapor at 850°C for a few minutes. The surface chemistry of these alloys along with the unattached ones was analyzed by Auger electron spectroscopy. The nature of scale and the distribution of chlorine was found to vary with the Cr content in the alloys, which has a direct bearing on the rate of oxidation of these alloys in NaCl vapor.
