Four cast superalloys (one cobalt-base and three nickel-base) were tested to 9000 C for one hundred hours in Mach 0.3 combustion gases.Five parts per million of synthetic sea salt were added to the gases in the combustion chamber. Several types of thermal cycle and washing procedures were employed. Similar tests were nade with the addition of M co 300 parts per million of a chromium-containing fuel additive. In both co W sets of tests the extent of hot corrosion was evaluated by specific weight change and metal recession. In general, the chromium additive in the fuel reduced the extent of hot (salt) corrosion but did not eliminate it. The percent reduction of hot corrosion attack was similar for all four alloys.As great a reduction of hot corrosion was achieved by reducing the number of thermal cycles during the test from 100 to five or six. The effect of washing the alloys every ten cycles as opposed to the end of the test was erratic; some alloys were attacked slightly more, others somewhat less.A NiCrAlY coating was found to be more effective in reducing hot corrosion than either the fuel additive or the washing schedule.
