Abstract
The corrosion mechanism of stainless steel caused by high temperature decomposition of aqueous urea solution has been investigated. The relationship between aqueous urea solution, its thermal decomposition products and the corrosion mechanism of stainless steel is studied by FTIR spectroscopy, SEM and stereo microscopy. The corroded steel samples, together with deposits, were obtained from the injection of aqueous urea solution on the steel plate at high temperatures. Uniform corrosion underneath the deposits was proposed as the main driver for corrosion of the steel samples. At the crevices, corrosion due to the used geometry and due to high temperature cycling could play an acceleration role as well.
