Abstract

This work investigated the corrosion characteristics of nickel-based alloy Inconel 625, stainless steel 316L (SS 316L), and commercial grade 2 titanium alloy (TA2) in ZrO(NO3)2-containing and ZrO(NO3)2/KOH-containing supercritical water (SCW) at 400 °C and 25 MPa. During ZrO(NO3)2-containing SCW exposure, Inconel 625 undergoes pitting and intergranular corrosion, while SS 316L and TA2 suffer uniform corrosion. Based on corrosion rate and metal oxide stability, the corrosion resistance follows an order of TA2 > Inconel 625 > SS 316L. The addition of KOH reduces the intergranular corrosion sensitivity of Inconel 625, and leads to different oxide distribution of SS 316L. The thick TiO2 oxide layer mixed with ZrO2 formed in ZrO(NO3)2/KOH-containing SCW enables TA2 to exhibit superior corrosion resistance than Inconel 625 and SS 316L.
