    Abstract:

    A static corrosion experiment of 347H stainless steel alloyed with elements Cu and Mo was carried out in a nitrate molten salt (60% NaNO3+40% KNO3) at 565 °C for 720 h. The effects of elements Cu and Mo on the corrosion resistance of 347H stainless steel in molten salt were investigated by analyzing the phase composition, microstructure and chemical composition of the corrosion products. The results show that the grain refinement induced by element Mo imparts the stainless steel with optimal corrosion resistance at a medium grain size. Furthermore, the formation of MoC significantly enhances the intergranular corrosion resistance of the stainless steel. The stainless steel exhibits uniform corrosion in the nitrate solution. The corrosion layer displays a dual-layer structure, and the corrosion products protecting matrix are present in both the inner and outer layers. The outer layer consists of a mixture of Fe oxides (Fe2O3, Fe3O4), NaFeO2, and a minor amount of MgFe2O4. Conversely, the inner layer is primarily composed of a spinel layer (FeCr2O4, MgCr2O4) and a thin Cu2O layer. The oxidation of Cu in the inner layer leads to the formation of a dense Cu2O layer, effectively impeding O2- plasma infiltration into the matrix.
