A wide range of commercial heat-resistant alloys has been tested in a H{sub 2} + 10% HCl environment at 550 C, 650 C, 680 C, 750 C and 850 C. The tests were carried out using a 24 h cycle with a total test time of up to 1,056 H. Weight change was determined, and the average value for three specimens per alloy and temperature plotted versus time, followed by a metallographic examination of the depth of corrosion. By a statistical evaluation of the data generated, it was possible to describe the weight change and penetration depth of all the alloys under examination as a function of the concentration of their main alloying elements and test temperature. According to these results, alloying elements nickel and molybdenum have a beneficial influence on chlorination resistance, whereas silicon and titanium are detrimental. Increased temperature always resulted in enhance corrosion. Only Ni, Ni-Mo, and Ni-Cr-Mo alloys show acceptable resistance for temperatures up to 850 C.
