Abstract: Hot corrosion of Ni-Al intermetallic compounds in molten (Na,K, Li)2SO4 has been studied by AC impedance technique. The hot corrosion of Ni-Al alloys was shown to be a diffusion-controlled process.The parameters in the corresponding equivalent circuit was calculated by the IFP technique. The results showed that the value of the charge-transfer resistance of Ni-Al alloys was very small,which indicates the lower anticorrosive character of the alloys. The mechanism of Ni-Al alloys during hot corrosion has been discussed.

Key words: Ni-Al intermetallic compound, molten salt, hot corrosion, AC impedance
