Hot Corrosion Resistance

HAYNES® 188 alloy exhibits excellent resistance to sulfate deposit type hot corrosion. Tests were conducted in a low velocity burner rig burning No. 2 Fuel oil with 0.4 percent sulfur. The air:fuel ratio was 30:1. Artificial sea water was injected at a rate equivalent to 5 ppm salt. Tests were run for 1000 hours, with samples cycled out of the gas stream once an hour and cooled to near ambient temperature. Gas velocity was 13 ft./ sec. (4 m/s).
