Study on the Corrosion Mechanisms of Nickel-Based Alloys in Hydrogen-Containing Supercritical Water
To address the corrosion issues of nickel-based alloys in a hydr
ogen-containing supercritical water environment
this study explores the corrosion processes of Inconel 600 and Inconel 625 alloys through systematic experimentation
revealing their corrosion mechanisms. A systematic comparison is made of the corrosion processes of the two alloys under different temperatures (575
600
and 625 ℃)
different hydrogen partial pressures (1
2
and 3 MPa)
and different corrosion durations (72
120
and 168 h). The corrosion mass gain patterns
surface elemental valence state distributions (XPS)
and surface morphology characteristics (SEM) of the experimental samples are analyzed. The experimental results indicate that Inconel 625 alloy shows changes in mass after 120 h and 168 h of corrosion; both Inconel 600 and Inconel 625 alloys
due to their lower Fe/Ni ratio and approximately 20% Cr content
easily form dense Fe-Cr and Ni-Cr spinel oxide structures
which provide good protection against corrosion
thus exhibiting excellent hydrogen corrosion resistance; when a certain amount of Cr (20% by mass) is present
a higher Fe/Ni ratio facilitates the formation of stable Fe

Cr
(3-

and Fe

Ni

which exhibit better hydrogen embrittlement resistance; among the two materials
Inconel 625 has superior hydrogen corrosion resistance compared to Inconel 600. The findings provide support for material selection in containers used in hydrogen-containing supercritical water environments.
