Effect of Salt-Coating Hot Corrosion on Stress-Rupture Properties of a Corrosion Resistant Directionally Solidified Superalloy

Abstract:

The hot components of gas turbine are loaded by high stresses in presence of high-temperature oxidation and hot corrosion environment during service process. It is important to simulate the interaction of stress and hot corrosion on the components in real service situation. Effect of the ratios of salt mixtures of Na₂SO₄/NaCl and the coating amounts of salt mixtures on the microstructure and the high temperature stress-rupture properties of a corrosion resistant directionally solidified superalloy at 850/500MPa were investigated. The results demonstrated that the stress-rupture life decreased with the coated salt mixture ratio of Na₂SO₄/NaCl changing from 3:1 to 9:1. Stress-rupture lives of the alloy decreased from 63 h to 42 h, while the coated salt mixtures amount increased from 1 mg/cm² to 4 mg/cm², hereby the salt mixture contained 75% Na₂SO₄ and 25% NaCl. When the coating ratio of Na₂SO₄/NaCl was 9:1, the stratified corrosion products layers were composed of the (Ni, Co)O, Ni (Al, Cr)₂O₄ layer, bright grey phase that be identified as CrWO₄, and the underlying dispersed particle shape phase CrSx, the underlying layer forms the sulfides eutectic and leads to catastrophic destruction for the alloy, which decreased the stress-rupture lives dramatically.
