A key problem in the application of a supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) turbine cycle to a fast breeder reactor (FBR) is the corrosion of structural material by supercritical CO2 at high temperature. In this study, corrosion test of high-chromium martensitic steel (12Cr-steel) and FBR grade type 316 stainless steel (316FR), which are candidate materials for FBRs, were performed at 400-600°C in supercritical CO2 pressurized at 20MPa. Corrosion due to the high temperature oxidation in exposed surface was measured up to approximately 2000h in both steels. In the case of 12Cr-steel, the weight gain showed parabolic growth with exposure time at each temperature. The oxidation coefficient could be estimated by the Arrhenius function. The specimens were covered by two successive oxide layers, an Fe-Cr-O layer (inside) and an Fe-O layer (outside). A partial thin oxide diffusion layer appeared between the base metal and the Fe-Cr-O layer. The corrosion behavior was equivalent to that in supercritical CO2 at 10MPa, and no effects of CO2 pressure on oxidation were observed in this study. In the case of 316FR specimens, the weight gain was significantly lower than that of 12Cr-steel. Dependency of neither temperature nor exposed time on oxidation was not observed, and the value of all tested specimens was within 2g/m2. Nodule shape oxides which consisted of two structures, Fe-Cr-O and Fe-O were observed on the surface of the 316FR specimen. Carburizing, known as a factor in the occurrence of breakaway corrosion and/or the degradation of ductility, was observed on the surface of both steels.
