The corrosion resistance of three candidate alloys is tested in supercritical carb dioxide (S-C0 2 ) at different levels of temperature and pressure for up to 3000 houThe purpose of the testing is to evaluate the compatibility of different engineeri alloys in S-C0 2 for use in a S-C0 2 Brayton cycle. The three alloys used are austeni stainless steel 316, iron-nickel-base superalloy 718, and nickel-base superalloy 7Each alloy is exposed to four combinations of temperature and pressure, consisting of either 550°C or 700°C at either 15 or 25 MPa for up to 1500 hours. At each temperature, an additional sample set is tested for 3000 hours and experienced an increase in pressure from 15 MPa to 25 MPa after 1500 hours of testing. All three alloys are successful in producing a protective oxide layer at the lower temperature of 550°C based on the logarithmic weight gain trends. At the higher temperature of 700°C, 316SS exhibits unfavourable linear weight gain trends at bot pressures of 15 and 25 MPa. In comparison, IN-718 and IN-738 performs similarly in producing a protective oxide layer illustrated through a power weight gain relatio The effect of pressure is most pronounced at the operating temperature of 700° C, where the higher pressure of 25 MPa results in an increased rate of oxide formatio SEM analysis exposes a thin film oxide for both IN-718 and IN-738 but severe intergranular corrosion is exhibited by IN-738. Based on the testing conducted, bo alloys show favourable characteristics for use in S-C0 2 conditions up to 700°C, bu further testing is required to characterize the effect of the intergranular corros ii the stability of oxide in IN-738. 316SS provided favourable results for use in temperatures of 550°C, but the protective oxide deteriorated at an operating temperature of 700°C. m
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
