Review on the Corrosion Behaviour of Nickel-Based Alloys in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide under High Temperature and Pressure

Abstract

Supercritical carbon dioxide (S-CO2) has the advantages of amphoteric liquid and gas, which possesses many unique characteristics, such as good compressibility, high density, high solubility, good fluidity and low viscosity. The Brayton cycle with S-CO2 is considered to have many promising applications, especially for power conversion industries. However, the corrosion and degradation of structural materials hinder the development and application of the Brayton cycle with S-CO2. Nickel-based alloys have the best corrosion resistance in S-CO2 environments compared to austenitic stainless steels and ferritic/martensitic steels. Thus, the present article mainly reviews the corrosion behaviour of nickel-based alloys in S-CO2 under high temperature and pressure. The effect of alloying elements and environment parameters on the corrosion behaviour of different nickel-based alloys are systematically summarized. The conclusion and outlook are given at the end.

Key Processing Factors in Hydrothermal Liquefaction and Their Impacts on Corrosion of Reactor Alloys

“…Among the available materials, austenitic stainless steels and nickel-based alloys, based on the performance and knowledge gained from pressurized water nuclear reactors, are the primary candidates for HTL reactor construction. These materials demonstrate promising high-temperature mechanical properties and acceptable corrosion resistance in high-temperature environments [68,69]. Additionally, our previous studies in high-temperature supercritical water environments suggest that high chromium-based alloys could also be suitable candidates [70,71].…”

Addressing Hydrogen Sulfide Corrosion in Oil and Gas Industries: A Sustainable Perspective

“…Nickel-based alloys are recognized for their outstanding ability to resist corrosion in environments containing H 2 S, making them suitable for various applications in the petroleum and natural gas industries. In general, nickel-based alloys exhibit slightly better corrosion resistance than austenitic stainless steels, while austenitic stainless steels demonstrate significantly greater corrosion resistance than ferritic/martensitic steels [104]. The oil and gas sector highly values nickel-based alloys due to their exceptional resistance to corrosion and impressive strength.…”
