Research on Hot Corrosion Behavior of DZ40M and K452 Superalloys in NaCl Molten Salt.

The corrosion of cobalt-based DZ40M and nickel-based K452 superalloy at 900 °C was investigated by NaCl salt coating. Accordingly, the differences in hot corrosion behavior were analyzed considering the development methods and elementary composition by comparing the two alloys' failure. Then, the corrosion mechanism induced by NaCl was proposed by comparing oxidation and hot corrosion behavior.
