Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce a new Special issue “Innovations in Heat-Resistant Alloys and Metal Matrix Composites” related to the development, design, and characterization of heat-resistant metal-based materials. In recent years, heat-resistant materials attract a lot of attention from both, researchers and engineers because of their excellent physical and mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. This Special issue aims to bring into focus the latest findings and innovative approaches in the design and characterization of heat-resistant metal-based materials. Moreover, it will support further studies in the broad field of heat-resistant alloys and metal matrix composites, and accelerate their application in various industries.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following: development of heat-resistant metal-based materials, characterization of heat-resistant materials, contemporary metallurgical processes, materials behavior at elevated temperatures.

We are pleased to invite you to support this Special issue and publish your work.

As concentrated solar power (CSP) systems evolve, the new generation of CSP systems will utilize chloride molten salts, which are cost-effective and have high operating temperatures, but are highly corrosive. In order to reduce the corrosiveness of chloride salts, we investigated the addition of different levels of Mg to chloride salts to study the effect on corrosion. In this paper, the corrosion behavior of 310S stainless steel with aluminum in high-temperature molten salt NaCl-KCl-MgCl2 was studied. By adding different contents of magnesium corrosion inhibitor, the corrosion mechanism and the effect of the corrosion inhibitor were explored. The results show that the lowest corrosion rate of 6.623 mm/y was obtained for the aluminum-formed 310S with 0.05 wt.% Mg. However, the corrosion rate rises when the Mg content exceeds 0.05 wt.% compared to the corrosion rate of corroded specimens without Mg. Changing the added Mg content does not affect the corrosion products. For 310S stainless steel with aluminum, its corrosion inhibition was best achieved by adding 0.05 wt.% Mg to the chloride molten salt. Full article
