[0125] Performance test

[0126] The nickel-based corrosion-resistant alloys prepared from the nickel-based corrosion-resistant alloys of Example 2-1, Example 2-2, Example 2-3 and Comparative Examples 1-1 to 1-5 are selected as the test samples for hot corrosion test, and the specific process is as follows:

[0127] The sample to be tested was oxidized at 950℃ for 10h in a high-temperature box furnace, wherein the test temperature was 900℃ and the test duration was 100h; wherein the corrosion salt solution was composed of 75g / L Na2SO4, 25g / L NaCl and deionized water. One hot corrosion cycle included dropping 1mg / cm2 of the corrosion salt solution on the surface of the sample, placing the sample into a 900℃ high-temperature furnace after the surface solution was dried, taking out the sample after 10h, immersing the sample into boiling deionized water after it was cooled to room temperature, cleaning the sample twice to ensure that there was no residual corrosion salt film on the surface of the sample, and finally drying and weighing the sample. The next cycle of hot corrosion experiment was performed after the weighing was completed, and the process was repeated 3 times. The weight gain per unit area was calculated, and the specific test results are shown in Table 1. 2

[0128] Table 1

[0129]

[0130] From the test results in Table 1, it can be seen that the hot corrosion performance of the nickel-based corrosion-resistant alloy prepared in Example 2-1, Example 2-2 and Example 2-3 is better than that of Comparative Example 1-1 to Comparative Example 1-5, and the hot corrosion effect of Example 2-3 is the best, with the smallest weight change, which indicates that it has good stability and durability in a high-temperature corrosion environment. Compared with Example 2-1, Comparative Example 1-1 lacks Ce, which cannot form CeO2 in the surface coating of the nickel-based corrosion-resistant alloy, and the compactness of the coating is reduced, so the molten salt can easily penetrate into the substrate, resulting in faster corrosion in the early stage, and there is no interface synergistic effect of CeO2 and the substrate La / Hf, the bonding force between the oxidation film and the substrate is poor, and the hot corrosion resistance is reduced after 70h. Compared with Comparative Example 1-1, Comparative Example 1-2 forms a Cr2O3-Al2O3 oxidation film on the substrate itself, but there is no coating protection, so the hot corrosion resistance is reduced. Compared with Comparative Example 1-2, Comparative Example 1-3 lacks the anti-creep element Re in the substrate, which causes the decrease of the grain boundary strength of the substrate, the oxidation film is easy to crack along the grain boundary, the corrosion substances penetrate into the grain boundary, and the corrosion is accelerated, so the hot corrosion resistance is reduced. Compared with Comparative Example 1-3, Comparative Example 1-4 lacks the element Ru in the substrate, which causes the coarsening of the γ' phase at high temperature, and the decrease of the stability of the substrate structure and the corrosion resistance. Compared with Comparative Example 1-4, Comparative Example 1-5 lacks the interface strengthening element La in the substrate, which cannot be synergistically segregated at the grain boundary to reduce the grain boundary energy, improve the grain boundary strength and improve the adhesion of the oxidation film. Under the action of thermal stress, the oxidation film will accelerate the peeling, so the hot corrosion resistance is further reduced.
