Abstract: High temperature chloride ion corrosion resistance and corrosion mechanism of Inconel625 and Inconel601 alloys were studied by means of SEM, EDS and XRD. The corrosion kinetics curves, corrosion products and surface and cross section morphology of the corrosion layer of the two alloys were compared and analyzed under the condition of chloride ion corrosion at 1100 ℃. The results show that both Inconel625 and Inconel601 alloys exhibit rapid corrosion in the early stage and gentle corrosion in the later stage. The high temperature chloride corrosion resistance of the Inconel625 alloy is better than that of the Inconel601 alloy. In the corrosion process of the Inconel625 alloy, an oxide film containing complex oxides is formed. The main corrosion products of the Inconel601 alloy are Cr2O3, AlFeO3 and Al18Cr5 phases, while the main corrosion products of the Inconel625 alloy are Al2O3, Fe2O3, Cr5O12 and NiCrO4 phases. The Inconel625 alloy has better corrosion resistance than the Inconel601 due to the pinning effect of Nb element and the formation of NiCrO4 with spinel structure, which increases the adhesion of oxide film.

Key words: Inconel625 alloy, high temperature, chloride ion, corrosion resistance
