Abstract

This study examined the effect of partially substituting cobalt for nickel in Ni-16Cr-15Mo alloy on corrosion resistance to 5.2. M HF acid solution at 100. °C. Microstructural characterisations revealed that cobalt substitution did not have a detrimental effect on corrosion resistance, but rather, it seems to enhance the formation of a compact and thin Mo-rich passive film by selective dissolution of elements. Heat-annealing drastically lowered the corrosion resistance due to Mo-rich precipitate of alloy, which lowered the concentration of Mo in bulk matrix, in particular close to precipitate sections, leading to inhibition of formation of homogenous and compact Mo-rich passive film.
