The NaCl-induced hot corrosion of 310 stainless steel was thermal-cycling investigated at 750-850℃ in this study. Effects of the supplying NaCl and the cyclic treatment on the formation of the scale morphology were also explored. The results show that the total depth of attack of the steel increased linearly with increasing cyclic times. The outer scale formed on the steel always spalled after cooling, due presumably to repeating processes of supplying NaCl, oxychloridation, chloridation, and reoxidation, which leaded to the trend of the total depth of attack increasing with increasing cyclic times. Through the thermodynamic analysis, morphological studies and phases identification, the reaction mechanisms of alloys were discussed in this study.
