Effect of minor elements on corrosion behavior of Ni-Cr-W superalloys in HTGR helium

Abstract

Research and development have been carried out on the new Ni-Cr-W superalloys as a component material for HTGRs with coolant outlet temperatures of around 1000degC. The basic composition, Ni-18 to 19 mass% Cr-20 to 22 mass% W, of the experimental alloys was specified in the first step. In order to examine the effect of addition of Mn, Si, B, Y and Ti on corrosion behavior in simulated HTGR helium, corrosion tests were carried out on eight heats of Ni-18 to 19 mass% Cr-20 to 22 mass% W alloys at 950 and 1000degC. Thermal cycles were given at intervals of 100h between room temperature and the each test temperature. The cumulative period of exposure to simulated HTGR helium at the each test temperature was 1000h. Based on the results obtained the following conclusions are drawn: (1) All the Ni-Cr-W alloys tested showed better resistance to general corrosion than Hastelloy XR, and also indicated better stability of the surface oxide film and less susceptibility to intergranular oxidation than the conventional Ni-Cr-W alloys. (2) The addition of Mn and Si showed no advantage. The alloys containing Mn and Si rather showed inferior corrosion resistance in simulated HTGR helium. (3) The addition of B  More>>
