Naphthenic corrosion resistance, mechanical properties and microstructure evolution of experimental Cr-Mo steels with high Mo content

One method to face the effects of naphthenic acid corrosion in petroleun refining plants is to use alloys with good resistance to this kind of corrosion. For this purpose, molybdenum additions to chromium containing steels are specially recommended. In this work, experimental Fe-9Cr-xMo (x = 5, 7 and 9 wt. (%)) ingots were cast, forged and hot rolled before being tested in a naphthenic acid environment. Evolution of the mechanical properties with composition is presented. The precipitation and dissolution of phases were investigated with the help of Thermocalc and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD).
