Laboratory experiments were carried out to study the corrosion behavior of steels and nickel-based alloys beneath heavy-metal-rich chloride and sulfate melts. Exposure tests on low- and high alloy steels in (Ca, K, Na, Pb, Zn)-sulfate mixtures in N{sub 2} - 5 vol.% O{sub 2} at 600 C have shown accelerated corrosion after addition of PbSO{sub 4} and ZnSO{sub 4}. The corrosion products were identified as (Fe, Ni)-oxide precipitates in contact with the gas phase and chromium-rich corrosion products close to the metal. Thermogravimetric investigations in He-5 vol.% O{sub 2} with the 2.25Cr-1Mo steel and also Alloy 625 have shown that severe corrosion occurred in the presence of a 50 wt.% ZnCl{sub 2}-50wt.% KCl salt mixture in the temperature range from 300 to 500 C. The corrosion products on 2.25Cr-1Mo were found to be Zn-rich iron-oxide precipitates in contact with the gas phase and a Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3} layer underneath. In contact with the metal, a mixture of iron-chlorides and Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3} was detected, together with variable amounts of K and Zn. A thick scale has formed on Alloy 625, consisting of nickel- and chromium-oxides with some dissolved Mo.
