Specimens of the alloy Ni4Mo were tested in a hydrogen chloride atmosphere at temperatures between 400° – 850° C. The corrosion of the alloy was followed by gravimetric analyses and microstructural examinations. It was found that the layer formed on the specimens due to corrosion is adherent but porous, thus allowing the volatilization of some of the corrosion products. The formation of various kinds of oxides and chlorides was observed. The exact composition of the scale depended on the temperature of exposure to hydrogen chloride and on the amount of oxygen present as an impurity in the test apparatus. The formation of a domain structure in the uncorroded alloy affects the morphology of the scale/alloy interface.
