Autoclave tests were performed in CO₂, O₂, and H₂O at 8 MPa at 50°C and 245°C, (heat exchanger operating conditions). Results show significant corrosion in a pressure / temperature region where H₂O saturated with CO₂ condenses on the coupons.
In order to investigate corrosion issues of heat exchanger materials at intermediate temperatures in direct supercritical carbon dioxide power cycles, a series of autoclave exposure tests and electrochemical experiments have been conducted. Potential heat exchanger materials are austenitic stainless steels and ferritic-martensitic steels. The autoclave tests were performed in fluid mixtures containing CO₂, O₂, and H₂O at 8 MPa and at two temperatures, 50°C and 245°C, to approximate heat exchanger operating conditions. Mass change measurements and characterization of the corroded surfaces using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were performed to understand the corrosion behavior of steels. Additionally, electrochemical tests were performed in CO₂-saturated H₂O at ambient pressure and temperatures up to 50°C to obtain kinetic data in terms of the corrosion rates of the alloys. The results demonstrate that significant corrosion occurs in a pressure / temperature region where H₂O saturated with CO₂ condenses on the coupons. Larger mass change was observed when oxygen was present in the supercritical CO₂ environment. The ferritic-martensitic steel was found to be susceptible to corrosion at low temperatures in direct supercritical CO₂ power cycle environments.

Special enhancements: (1) use the high temperature reference electrode - Ag/AgCl; (2) define the test temperature measurement procedure; (3) check the accuracy of the reference electrode; (4) develop an inexpensive anode isolation method.

This paper discusses the detailed inspection, testing, metallurgical analysis and supporting factors from which the most likely cause of pitting corrosion was revealed in the DSS flowline welds.
The influence of the size of aggressive anions on the passivity breakdown of UNS K02700 carbon steel exposed to saturated Ca(OH)2 solutions with the addition of different halides was investigated by using the potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) experiments.
