abstract = {The mechanisms leading to corrosion in stainless steel
containments for thermal energy storage through phase change
materials, such as carbonates and chlorides, arecrucial for
understanding the degradation of these steel alloys. A
comprehensive study of this area will allow for
down-selection of materials suitable for solar thermalenergy
storage (TES) operation at an elevated temperature
range.Samples of stainless steel (SS) 316L were subjected to
a cyclic heat environment of 550–750 ◦C in air and argon
headspace environments, in the presence of acarbonate salt
phase change material (PCM). A series of complementary
microscopy, spectroscopy and diffractometry analytical
techniques were applied to thecorroded SS316L. Corrosion
rate, interface formation and chemical products with respect
to thermal cycling are presented with associated degradation
mechanismexplained and comparisons are made among different
gas environments and varied immersion conditions.In the PCM
under ambient air conditions, steel surfaces were mainly
corroded by the penetration of oxidants from air, such as
H2O or O2, along grain boundaries.SS316L samples
demonstrated more severe degradation when exposed to air
with a small fraction of PCM vapour present compared to when
they were exposed toliquid or solid PCM. Cycling in Ar
resulted in less corrosion in samples as opposed to when
they were exposed to an air environment. In an Ar
environment corrosionis driven via the formation of
chromite, while the SS316L showed a less degradation when
exposed to Ar with a small fraction of PCM vapour compared
to when itwas immersed in PCM. The mechanisms for
degradation in air and in Ar are common in that the
corrosion products of Cr and Ni dissolve in the PCM thus
removingany layer that could protect against corrosion.The
present study provides insight into corrosion of
stainless-steel when exposed to carbonate salts, in air and
inert gas environments, and contributes to down-selection of
materials for solar thermal energy storage.},
