Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of electrochemical measurement, and in particular to an atmosphere-controllable long-time electrochemical testing method and device for halide molten salt corrosion. Background Art
[0002] Solar thermal power generation technology is considered to be one of the most promising new energy technologies. The third-generation solar thermal power generation technology uses lower-cost halide molten salts (such as chloride molten salts) with higher service temperatures (>700°C). However, chloride molten salts are highly corrosive, which seriously threatens the long-life and high-reliability operation of molten salt equipment. Therefore, in order to achieve high reliability and long-life design of molten salt storage tanks, it is necessary to understand the corrosion behavior and mechanism of candidate structural materials in halide molten salts.
[0003] Electrochemical testing is an efficient and low-cost corrosion testing method. However, most of the existing electrochemical testing devices and methods in high-temperature liquid corrosion environments are mainly suitable for molten salt systems that do not require atmosphere control, such as molten nitrate. These devices and methods have the following shortcomings:
[0004] Temperature limitation: Existing technologies are difficult to operate stably in high-temperature environments above 700°C and cannot meet the requirements of high-temperature molten salt corrosion testing;
[0005] Lack of atmosphere control: The existing technology lacks effective control over specific atmospheres (such as inert gas or vacuum environment), and cannot meet the needs of halide molten salt corrosion testing with extremely high requirements on the atmosphere environment;
[0006] Insufficient long-term testing capabilities: It is difficult to reduce the evaporation loss of molten salt at high temperatures, resulting in the inability of existing devices to achieve long-term electrochemical testing of more than 1,000 hours.

[0075] In step 2, when the vacuum is drawn, the vacuum degree in the airtight container 17 is less than 1×10 3 When the pressure is below Pascal, close the vacuum pump 5 and the vacuum valve 4.
[0076] Preferably, in step 3, step 3 is repeated 3 to 4 times to fill the airtight container 17 with argon gas.
[0077] Embodiment three:
[0078] Please see attached Figure 4 , based on Example 1 and Example 2
[0079] Conduct electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests in a high temperature chloride molten salt environment
[0080] Wherein: the composition of the molten salt 13 is: 45.4MgCl%-33%KCl-21.6%NaCl, the test temperature is 700°C, the test materials are IN800H alloy (No. 1) and IN625 alloy (No. 2), and the sine wave amplitude is 5mV.
[0081] Step 1: Packaging electrodes and molten salt 13:
[0082] All operations in this step were performed in a glove box filled with argon or vacuum.
[0083] Put the prepared chloride molten salt 13 into the crucible 10, and then connect the crucible cover 18 to the crucible 10 through threads; insert the three electrodes and the armored thermocouple 11 into the through holes on the crucible cover 18 respectively, until the three electrodes and the armored thermocouple 11 are in the middle of the crucible 10; make the three electrodes and the armored thermocouple 11 in a vertical state, and then use high-temperature glue to seal the gaps between the through holes and the three electrodes and the armored thermocouple 11, and wait for the high-temperature glue to solidify before use;
[0084] Step 2: Assembly and atmosphere control:
[0085] The packaged crucible 10, molten salt 13, three electrodes and armored thermocouple 11 are placed in an airtight container 17, and the first insulation board, the second insulation board and the flange cover 21 are passed through the three electrodes and the armored thermocouple 11 in sequence. The through holes of the three electrodes and the armored thermocouple 11 and the flange cover 21 are sealed with a pipe sealing joint 24; the flange cover 21 is connected and sealed to the airtight container 17.
[0086] Step 3: close the air inlet valve 22 and the air outlet valve 6, open the vacuum valve 4, and start the vacuum pump 5 to extract the vacuum; wait until the vacuum degree in the airtight container 17 reaches 1×10 3 When the pressure is below Pascal, the vacuum pump 5 and the vacuum valve 4 are turned off, and the air inlet valve 22 is opened to allow the argon gas to fill the airtight container 17. This operation is repeated three times.
[0087] Step 4: Temperature rise and stability test:
[0088] Close the air inlet valve 22 and the vacuum valve 4, open the air outlet valve 6, and drive the high temperature furnace 9 to start heating;
[0089] After the temperature reaches 700°C, the three electrodes are connected to the electrochemical workstation 1 in a circuit, and the open circuit potential change of the system is measured by the open circuit potential method;
[0090] Step 4: Start the test:
[0091] When the open circuit potential in step 3 reaches stability, select electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, set the sine wave amplitude to 5mV, the frequency range to 10mHz to 100kHz, and start collecting impedance spectra after 1000 hours of immersion.
[0092] The long-term electrochemical test of chloride molten salt 13 corrosion under this atmosphere lasted for 1100 hours, the sample was completely immersed in molten salt 13, and the atmosphere was always an argon environment. Then the electrochemical impedance spectrum of chloride molten salt 13 corrosion under this atmosphere was recorded for 1000 hours.
[0093] As can be seen from the figure, the measured impedance data fluctuates little and can accurately reveal the difference in corrosion resistance of the two metals in molten salt 13. It can be seen that the present invention not only realizes the high-temperature halide molten salt 13 corrosion electrochemical test under strict air isolation, but also solves the problem of being unable to perform long-term testing due to evaporation loss of molten salt 13.
