Abstract
Electrochemical techniques in molten salt systems to date have largely focused on chemical reactions or corrosion mechanisms, with relatively few studies on corrosion kinetics. An approach to measuring corrosion rates using the polarization resistance method has been adapted with success to some molten salt systems. Specific application of this electrochemical technique to an industrial boiler corrosion problem has been accomplished. Electrochemical test methods are described here for molten chloride salts at 260–371°C (500–700°F). The experimental corrosion rate data generated in this environment is in good agreement with rates measured using conventional weight loss coupon methods.
