Abstract

CMSX-4 samples were exposed to type II hot corrosion conditions (700 °C, 300 vpm SO X in air) for between 12.5 and 500 h. Two deposits (4/1 molar ratio Na2SO4/K2SO4 and 49/1 molar ratio Na2SO4/NaCl) were tested with fluxes between 0 and 10 μg cm−2 h−1. Dimensional metrology studies showed similar metal losses for samples exposed with the same flux but to different salts. Duplicate samples exposed under identical conditions gave repeatable metal loss data. Samples exposed to low deposition fluxes for short exposure periods maintained surfaces in incubation despite the low chromium content of CMSX-4. For higher fluxes, incubation times and propagation rates were determined.
