The corrosion behavior of Fe, Cr, Ni, and two commercial alloys in molten chloride/sulfate mixture and chloride mixture was evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization and free corrosion potential measurements at 350 C and 560 C. Cr is effective to suppress corrosion in molten chloride/sulfate mixture, whereas Ni is effective for molten chloride. Mo works to suppress corrosion in nobler potential regime. Both O{sub 2} and H{sub 2}O are considered to act as an oxidant in chloride/sulfate mixture as in chloride salt.
