  • Patent number: 8414828
    Abstract: A material is presented that exhibits excellent corrosion resistance to supercritical ammonia and is suitable for a supercritical ammonia reactor. An Ni-based corrosion resistant alloy includes from 15% or more to 50% or less by mass of Cr and any one or both of Mo and W, wherein a [(content of Mo)+0.5×(content of W)] is from 1.5% or more to 8.5% or less by mass, a value of 1.8×[% content of Cr]/{[% content of Mo]+0.5×[% content of W]} is from 3.0 or more to 70.0 or less and the balance is Ni and an unavoidable impurity. The alloy may be used to configure a supercritical ammonia reactor or the material is coated on a surface that contacts with a supercritical ammonia fluid. The alloy exhibits excellent corrosion resistance to supercritical ammonia and a mineralizer added the supercritical ammonia. The safety and reliability of an apparatus can be improved, the producing cost can be reduced, the apparatus lifetime can be extended and the running cost can be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20090280024
    Abstract: The invention intends to provide a material that exhibits excellent corrosion resistance to supercritical ammonia and is suitable for a supercritical ammonia reactor. An Ni-based corrosion resistant alloy includes from 15% or more to 50% or less by mass of Cr and any one or both of Mo and W, wherein a [(content of Mo)+0.5×(content of W)] is from 1.5% or more to 8.5% or less by mass, a value of 1.8×[% content of Cr]/{[% content of Mo]+0.5×[% content of W]} is from 3.0 or more to 70.0 or less and the balance is Ni and an unavoidable impurity. Preferably, content of Fe is less than 3% by mass, and content of C is less than 0.05% by mass. The alloy is used to configure a supercritical ammonia reactor or the material is coated on a surface that contacts with a supercritical ammonia fluid. The alloy exhibits excellent corrosion resistance to supercritical ammonia and a mineralizer added the supercritical ammonia.

  • Publication number: 20040106032
    Abstract: Conductive polymer films are formed on the surfaces of a substrate made of a metal material by, preferably, electrolytic polymerization. Alternatively, passive-state layers are formed on the surfaces of a substrate and conductive polymer films are formed on the passive-state layers. It is desirable to form groove-like gas flow passages by bending the substrate before the execution of electrolytic polymerization or the formation of passive-state layers. In the electrolytic polymerization, it is desirable that electrolysis be performed by using the substrate as an electrolytic polymerization electrode. Therefore, a metal separator having conductive polymer coatings that are superior in contact resistance and corrosion resistance can be obtained. The manufacturing cost of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell can be reduced.
