The corrosion behavior in impure helium of Haynes 230, a nickel base alloy candidate for heat exchangers in Very High Temperature Reactors (VHTR), has been investigated. The study focused on the formation and the degrees C. In-situ gas-phase analysis coupled to post-exposure surface analyses showed that a chromium-rich surface oxide formed on Haynes 230 at 900 degrees C but was unstable above a critical temperature T (A) : the chromium-rich oxide reacted with carbon in solution in the alloy to produce chromium and CO(g). The effect of carbon monoxide partial pressure in the gas phase as well as the influence of chromium and carbon activities in the alloy on T (A) are discussed taking thermodynamics and kinetics aspects into account.
