Abstract
- Abstract: The effects of alloying elements and temperature on corrosion behavior in supercritical water (SCW) were investigated for oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels to design alloy compositions for corrosion-resistant ODS ferritic steels. Corrosion tests of the ODS steels were carried out at 400, 500, and 600°C under 25MPa with 8ppm of dissolved oxygen. The addition of 4wt.%Al is effective to improve the corrosion resistance of 16Cr-ODS steel, suggesting that an adequate combination between Cr and Al content ranges (14–16)Cr and (3.5–4.5)Al. The addition of Ce or Zr to W-added ODS steel is expected to increase its corrosion resistance. At higher temperatures, the addition of 4wt.%Al to 16Cr-ODS steel induces better corrosion resistance rather than the temperature of 400°C. It is considered that for 16Cr-ODS steels with Al, the continuous alumina mainly suppresses the inward oxygen diffusion and the Fe–Cr spinel adds to the suppression of oxygen diffusion.
