Chloride corrosion
Thread Content
The reaction temperature is 160; the product contains potassium chloride, no water is present, and it’s all organic solvents. Does this cause corrosion to stainless steel?
The organic medium contains oxygen-containing groups; that should be fine, right?~
I can’t answer that for you. The most effective way is to conduct an experiment before using it.
Is the corrosion of stainless steel by chloride ions also related to the presence of oxygen?
I don’t know~ I don’t think so~ Also, potassium chloride remains a solid in organic solutions; there’s no water present

Is my reaction anaerobic and anhydrous, and does it cause corrosion as well?
Potassium chloride is insoluble in organic solvents, so it does not corrode austenitic stainless steel. Potassium chloride only dissolves in water, where it ionizes to produce chloride ions, and these chloride ions corrode austenitic stainless steel. It is generally pit corrosion; stress corrosion cracks may occur in areas with high residual stress, such as welds.
