Investigation on Electrochemistry Behavior of Fe-Cr-Ni Alloy in Caustic Solution

Article Preview

Abstract:

Electrochemistry experiments such as polarization curve and alternating-current impedance are adopted to study the electrochemistry behavior of Fe-Cr-Ni alloy (Inconel 690 alloy) in the caustic solution of 50% NaOH +0.3%SiO2+0.3%Na2S2O3. The results show that Inconel 690 alloy appears two anodic passivation areas, the passivation of the alloy elements Cr and Ni mainly contributes to the lower potential passivation area and the higher potential passivation area is mainly attributed to the passivation effect of the alloy elements Fe and Ni, especially the later. When Na2S2O is added into the high-temperature caustic solution, it can accelerate the anodic dissolution of Inconel690 alloy, retard or impede its passivation and decrease the stability of the surface passivation film, which is mainly attributed to the effect of Na2S2O3 on the anodic polarization behavior of Ni.
