Abstract
AbstractThe impact of Cl on alkali-induced high-temperature corrosion of stainless steels/FeCrAl alloys after breakaway oxidation was investigated in a simulated biomass- and waste-fired boiler environment at 600 °C. For this investigation, three alloys were exposed to low Cl load environment (H2O+KCl) and to high Cl load (H2O+KCl+HCl). Post-exposure analysis showed that the stainless steel SVM12 experiences fast oxidation and forms thick double-layered Fe-rich oxide scales. The corrosion attack is further accelerated with addition of HCl for this material with the effect being more pronounced in the inward-growing scale. The FeCrAl and FeCrNi alloys exhibit slower oxidation kinetics after the breakaway corrosion compared to SVM12 in the H2O+KCl exposure. Furthermore, in contrast with SVM12, the addition of HCl did not accelerate the corrosion attack on these alloys. It is argued that the properties of the secondary oxide layer formed after breakaway corrosion are important in the continued corrosion resistance against chlorine-induced corrosion attack. Especially, the Cr content in the inner scales is suggested to be important in corrosion mitigation.
