Abstract

Due to huge advantages, phase change materials (PCMs) are widely applied to various fields. Particularly, they are essential materials in regeneration, development and utilization of energy. However, because PCMs generally contain alloy materials and have some corrosivity, some leakage losses may be suffered by PCMs, driving people to strengthen the research concern on the corrosion behavior of alloy materials in PCMs. In the paper, the author regards inorganic alloy PCMs in PCMs as the research emphasis, selects six alloy materials, including red copper, brass, 5052 aluminum, 6063 aluminum, 202 stainless steel and 304 stainless steel to do the experimental study, and explores from corrosion rate, corrosion products, morphology and energy of corrosion products. It shows that the corrosion resistance of six alloy materials in PCMs is ranked as: 304 stainless steel> 202 stainless steel>6063 aluminum alloy>5052 aluminum alloy>brass> red copper, providing some theoretical basis on studying corrosion prevention of PCMs in the future.
