Abstract: In order to solve the problem of low service life of spray gun for nickel top-blown smelting, Inconel 625 alloy was used as a substitute material, corrosion behavior and mechanism of Inconel 625 alloy were studied under actual working conditions: oxygen flow rate 15 000~42 000 Nm3/h and slag temperature 1 400 ℃.The microstructure, element distribution and hardness of the samples were analyzed by OM, SEM, EDS, EMPA and micro-hardness tester. The results showed that the formation of oxide film such as Cr2O3 oxide hindered the corrosion process during 15~20 h. The severe corrosion zone of the alloy occur in 0 μm to 250 μm on the surface, and the heat-affected zone is in 250~1 650 μm. Nb-rich and Cr-poor areas are corroded first. With the continuous formation and decomposition of the complex oxide film system composed of Cr2O3, Fe2O3, Cr2S3, Nb0.1Ni0.9, [Mg, Fe]2SiO4, the main elements in the alloy are corroded off, and Mg and S elements in the oxide film are derived from slag. The hardness of the corroded alloy surface decrease obviously.
