Abstract

A mechanism of corrosion is proposed relating to a NiCoCrAlTaY coated Mar-M247 superalloy exposure in molten Na 2SO 4 salt vapour at 900°C. The corrosion process indicates the parabolic "diffusion controlled" region I at rate of 4.6×10 -6mg 2cm -4s -1, the combination of parabolic and linear "reaction-diffusion controlled" region II at rate of 2.28×10 -5mg 2cm -4s -1 and 4.35×10 -5mgcm -2s -1, and finally the complete "reaction controlled" region III at the same rate of 3.92×10 -4mgcm -2s -1 as the uncoated superalloy. The corrosion kinetics of each region and of the whole process are formulated rationally associated with the corrosion mechanism.
