Description:
Cyclic oxidation and hot corrosion tests of two cobalt-base and two nickel-base alloys are reported. The alloys were exposed to maximum temperatures of 900 and 1000 C in a Mach 0.3 burner rig whose flame was doped with various concentrations of sea salt and sodium sulfate for hot corrosion tests. The test data were subjected to a regression analysis for the development of model equations relating corrosion to temperature and for the effects of salt concentration and composition on corrosion. The corrosion resistance varied with temperature, sea salt concentration, and salt composition, concluding that the S-57 cobalt-base alloy was the most hot corrosion-resistant alloy, and the TD-NiCrAl nickel-base alloy was the least resistant. However, under straight oxidation conditions, the TD-NiCrAl was most resistant, while S-57 was the least resistant alloy.
