Abstract

Supercritical carbon dioxide offers the potential for significant efficiency increases in power generation systems. However, limited information is available on the compatibility of supercritical carbon dioxide with highly alloyed iron-base alloys and nickel-base alloys. These alloys are designed to have good strength at elevated temperature and would likely find use in a range if power generating systems including concentrating solar power, nuclear and fossil systems. Selected Fe- and Ni-based alloys and superalloys have been exposed in 99.995% supercritical carbon dioxide for 500 hours at 750°C and 200 bar. Post exposure examination provided information on corrosion rates, microstructural evolution and the carbon concentration in the exposed materials. Studies show relatively low corrosion rates in almost all alloys studied after 500 h of exposure but an apparent increase in carbon content even in nickel-base alloys.
