Highlights: • Diffusion-bond showed similar corrosion and carburization behavior as parent matrix. • Diffusion-bond line migrated due to the Cr-depletion induced recrystallization. • Alloy 182 fusion-weld showed larger weight gains with outer Mn-rich oxides. • The presence of SiO{sub 2} in chromia suppressed carburization at the oxide/matrix interface. • Despite larger weight gains, Alloy 182 fusion-weld showed negligible tensile property changes. - Abstract: Two types of Alloy 600 joints, such as diffusion-bonded joint and Alloy 182 fusion-weld, were exposed to supercritical-CO{sub 2} environment at 550 and 650 °C (20 MPa) for 1000 h. The diffusion-bond region showed similar oxidation characteristics as parent Alloy 600, but the migration of diffusion bond line below oxide layer was observed due to the Cr-depletion induced recrystallization. For Alloy 182 fusion-weld, outer Mn-rich oxides (Mn{sub 3}O{sub 4} and MnCr{sub 2}O{sub 4}) and a small amount of inner SiO{sub 2} mixed with chromia were formed due to high Mn and Si contents. The presence of SiO{sub 2} in chromia suppressed carburization at the oxide/matrix interface, which resulted in the formation of an amorphous C layer between the outer Mn-rich oxide and inner Cr-rich oxide. For Alloy 182 fusion-weld, tensile property changes after exposure to supercritical-CO{sub 2} environment were negligible.
