Corrosion studies at about 1000{sup 0}C in a radioactive waste incinerator exhaust stream are described. Alloys with 30% chromium, chromium and duplex chromium/aluminum diffusion coatings on high-chromium materials, a 20% Cr-5% Al-iron alloy, and water cooling were each found to benefit a reduction in metal wastage in this offgas system.
