Material questions are increasing as the momentum towards greater use of waste incineration accelerates. This mixed oxidant environment can be highly corrosive at elevated temperatures because of the combined attack of oxygen, carbonaceous materials, sulfur compounds and halide vapors. The performance of alloys 600, 601, 625, 617, 690, 800 and 825 was examined in mixed oxidant environments containing O2, N2, CO2, SO2 and HBr or HCl at temperatures between 593°C (1100°F) and 927°C (1700°F). The test coupons were evaluated for mass change, internal attack and the nature of the protective scale on each alloy.
