Abstract

Ni-Mo alloys containing 26–28 wt. pct. Mo are known for their excellent corrosion properties in reducing environments. When exposed to temperatures in the range 600°C to 800°C, however, these alloys undergo a longrrange ordering reaction from disordered fcc lattice to ordered Dla superlattice. This ordering phenomenon has been found to have detrimental effects on corrosion properties. Also, alloys based on the Ni-16Mo-16Cr system undergo a long range ordering reaction from disordered fcc lattice to ordered Pt2Mo-type superlattice in the temperature range of 400° to 600°C. However, in contrast to the case of Ni-Mo alloys, ordering in the Ni-Mo-Cr alloys has some beneficial effects on the aqueous corrosion properties. This difference in behavior between the Ni-Mo alloys and the Ni-Mo-Cr alloys is discussed interms of the ordering characteristics determined from transmission electron microscopy and diffraction, X-ray microanalysis in the scanning transmission electron microscope and Auger electron spectroscopy.
