A novel graded composite transition joint (GCTJ) between AISI 304 stainless steel and ASTM A335 P91 steel, has been demonstrated remarkablely superior creep performance compared to the conventional dissimilar metal weldment (DMW) under equivalent conditions. However, this advance is challenged by hot corrosion under salt deposition at elevated temperatures. This study investigates the hot corrosion behavior of 304&P91 GCTJ exposed to sulfate salts at 700 degrees C. Compared to the 304 steel, corrosion attacks initiate in the P91 triangle, where the dual-phase microstructure of ferrite and tempered martensite significantly influences pitting initiation. Anodic dissolution mainly occurs within the tempered martensite due to more vulnerable sites within the tempered martensite. With prolonged exposure, corrosion propagates across both phases, and the corrosion depth within the P91 triangle is related to the exposed surface area ratio between 304 and P91. Electrochemical analysis reveals the occurrence of galvanic corrosion between the 304 and P91, with a positive linear relationship between anodic dissolution current density (Ia) and the exposed surface area ratio between 304 and P91 in molten salts, further emphasizing the critical impact of this ratio on the corrosion severity in the P91 triangle. These findings underscore the importance of transition zone design optimization in mitigating localized corrosion.
