RESUMEN
In this paper, the element nitrogen (N) is used to partially replace the element nickel (Ni) in flux-cored wire. A 44%Ni-24%Cr-0.18N nitrogen-containing low-nickel flux-cored wire with excellent corrosion resistance is prepared. The corrosion behavior of nitrogen-containing low-nickel weld cladding and Inconel 625 weld cladding in 40 KCl + 60 MgCl2 (wt%) molten salt at 900 °C is studied. The results show that the selective dissolution of Cr occurs in both weld claddings. The corrosion resistance of the 44%Ni-24%Cr-0.18N nitrogen-containing low-nickel weld cladding is better than that of the Inconel 625 weld cladding. The reason is that added N can react with H+ in molten salt to generate NH4+, remove corrosive impurities of MgOH+ in molten salt and change the corrosion environment. N preferentially combines with Cr to form Cr2N, reduces the diffusion precipitation of Cr and improves the corrosion resistance.
