The corrosion of aNi–20Crand three ternaryNi–20Cr–Cualloys containing 10, 20 and 30 wt.%Cu, respectively, in a eutectic(Li, K)2CO3melt was studied at 650°C under air.Ni–20CrandNi–20Cr–10Cuare solid-solution alloys, while bothNi–20Cr–20CuandNi–20Cr–30Cuare two-phase alloys composed of aCu-depleted matrix together with a small amount of aCu-rich phase. The results indicate thatNi–20CrandNi–20Cr–10Cuhave similar corrosion rates, forming a scale of externalNiOand innerCr-rich oxides. The two-phaseNi–20Cr–20/30 Cualloys corrode rapidly, producing a mixture ofNi–Cr–rich oxidesand aNi–Cu metallic phase, which may be ascribed to the accelerated corrosion of theCu-depleted matrix coupled with the cathodicCu-rich phase of the alloys. As compared toNi–20Cr–30Cu,Ni–20Cr–20Cusuffers from more-severe corrosion, due to a smaller area fraction of the cathodicCu-rich phase in the alloy. The galvanic corrosion mechanism is also discussed.
