Abstract

The corrosion characteristics of 316SS and 304SS in subcritical and supercritical aqueous systems including chloride of approximate 4600 mg/L at 25 MPa and 250 °C, 350 °C, 425 °C, and 520 °C are comparatively investigated. Some local corrosion areas occurred on the surfaces of SS316, not on that of 304SS, at 250 °C and 425 °C, while at 350 °C, all the sample surfaces were covered by large amounts of corrosion products and clay materials due to the predominant precipitation for the formation of the outer subscale. Whether in reducing subcritical and supercritical industrial sludge suspension or in oxidizing supercritical sludge system, 304SS owns better corrosion resistance than 316SS due to higher chromium concentration of former.
