Six Ni and Fe-Ni based austenitic alloys were exposed to molten LiF-NaF-KF:46.5-11.5-42 mol% salt, commonly referred to as FLiNaK, at 850 degrees C for 500 h. Corrosion was noted to occur predominantly from dealloying of Cr resulting in void formation, an effect that was particularly pronounced at the grain boundaries. Alloy weight-loss due to molten fluoride salt corrosion correlated with the initial Cr-content of the alloys up to a Cr content of about 20 wt%, and was consistent with the Cr-concentrations measured in the salts after corrosion tests. However, in the nominally 20 wt% to 23 wt% Cr containing alloys, this weight-loss correlated linearly with the carbon content of the alloys, due to the formation of chromium carbide phases at the grain boundaries and its subsequent dissolution into the molten salt along the grain boundaries. The Cr-lean intermetallic precipitates found in the alloys were resistant to corrosion in the molten FLiNaK salt.
