| Abstract: | A TiN/TiNC/Al2O3 multilayer coating was deposited on an Inconel 625 alloy by the chemical vapor deposition method as a protective barrier to improve the corrosion resistance in supercritical water. The corrosion characteristics were evaluated in a reactor at 500 °C and 25 MPa for 72 h. The surface morphology of the coated samples was relatively dense with no obvious cracks or pores observed. The XRD analysis revealed that the coatings were composed of TiN, TiNC and α-Al2O3 phases. After exposure to supercritical water, the surface morphology of the coatings was still dense and kept integrity. The phase composition of the coatings was also not changed, with no obvious corrosion scales detected. This result demonstrates the effectiveness of TiN/TiNC/Al2O3 coatings as a protective coating under harsh supercritical water environments. |
