High temperature chlorine contaminated environments may be encountered in a number of modern industrial and energy conversion systems. Such environments have been shown to be extremely severe from a corrosion control standpoint. Rather little information is available on the corrosion properties of alloys in these environments, and the bulk of this information has been obtained in short-term tests (24 hours or less). This paper reports the results of a series of high temperature corrosion tests performed on superalloys for periods up to 400 hours in an oxidizing environment consisting of argon containing 20 pct oxygen and 0.25 pct chlorine at 900/sup 0/C.
