The objective of this work is to study the durability of materials in concentrating solar power systems in the presence of high operating temperature heat transfer fluids (molten salts). Corrosion rates and trends for stainless steels, superalloys, refractory alloys, and ceramics or other materials in molten salts such fluoride, chloride, nitrate and carbonate based salt systems will be compared.
