Preliminary investigation of corrosion by molten sodium hydroxide flowing in tubes of AISI 347 stainless steel, Inconel, and nickel having average outer-wall temperatures of 1500 F and a circumferential temperature gradient of 20 F

摘要

Experiments were performed with an apparatus suitable for determining corrosive effects of hot flowing liquids on various container materials. The investigation was conducted with molten sodium hydroxide flowing at a velocity of 15 feet per second. Extensive corrosion and mass trans Extensive corrosion and mass transfer to regions of reduced temperature was observed.
