Molten chloride salts are one of the leading candidates for heat transfer fluids and thermal energy storage for generation IV Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs). These chloride salts demonstrate many favorable properties such as low melting temperatures, high boiling points, high heat capacity, and low vapor pressure at higher temperatures. Ternary chlorides such as NaCl-KCl-MgCl2 used in this study are particularly attractive due to their lower melting points and high decomposition temperatures.

Molten salts are being considered for use in a new generation of nuclear reactors. Therefore, any materials selection process necessarily involves corrosion studies to understand the compatibility between the salts of interest and the materials of construction. This project investigated the corrosion behavior of novel Ni-base superalloys in molten chloride salt mixtures at 750°C for 200 hours in an inert atmosphere. Alloy response to the molten salt was examined through mass loss per unit area, analysis of surface phases and microstructural examination of the alloy cross-section along with elemental analysis. The role of critical alloying elements in alloy corrosion behavior was related to the material response to the molten salt. Alloy 6, an aluminum-containing alloy was the most corrosion resistant while Alloy 7, containing titanium additions, also did well. In the absence of these critical alloying elements, Alloy 4, proved to be the least corrosion resistant.
