Abstract:
It is of great significance for supercritical carbon dioxide (S-CO
2) power generation technology to study the corrosion behavior and mechanism of alloys in the environment of CO
2 containing doping gas. High temperature corrosion experiment of Super304H and Inconel625 alloy in CO
2, together with corrosion weighting method, scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction (XRD) are applied to study the corrosion behavior of the two heat resistant materials in CO
2 doping with SO
2 environment at 750 ℃. The results show that the oxidation kinetic of the materials follows the parabolic law under 750 ℃ CO
2 and 750 ℃ CO
2+SO
2 environment. Inconel625 has a better corrosion resistant ability than Super304H, accompanied by less oxidation weight gain. The initial weight gain of Super304H in 750 ℃ CO
2 is higher than that in CO
2+SO
2, while the weight gain gets larger in CO
2+SO
2 after 120 h. The single Cr
2O
3 oxide scales and the double-layered oxide scales consist of nodular-typed Fe
3O
4 outer layer and FeCr
2O
4 inner layer formed on Super304H after exposure 500 h in two environments. Whereas a stable and dense Cr-rich oxide layer of about 1 µm in thickness grows on Inconel625. The Cr content plays a crucial role to improve the alloy corrosion resistance in high temperature CO
2 environment. High temperature CO
2 doping with SO
2 has the effect of inhibiting carburization during the formation of Cr
2O
3, accelerating corrosion and carburization for iron oxide.
