High-temperature compression and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) techniques were used in a systematic investigation of the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior and texture evolution of the Inconel625 alloy. The true stress–true strain curves and the constitutive equation of Inconel625 were obtained at temperatures ranging from 900 to 1200 °C and strain rates of 10, 1, 0.1, and 0.01 s⁻¹. The adiabatic heating effect was observed during the hot compression process. At a high strain rate, as the temperature increased, the grains initially refined and then grew, and the proportion of high-angle grain boundaries increased. The volume fraction of the dynamic recrystallization increased. Most of the grains were randomly distributed and the proportion of recrystallized texture components first increased and then decreased. Complete dynamic recrystallization occurred at 1100 °C, where the recrystallized volume fraction and the random distribution ratios of grains reached a maximum. This study indicated that the dynamic recrystallization mechanism of the Inconel625 alloy at a high strain rate included continuous dynamic recrystallization with subgrain merging and rotation, and discontinuous dynamic recrystallization with bulging grain boundary induced by twinning. The latter mechanism was less dominant.

This study aimed to examine the corrosion behavior of Inconel 625 in a molten salt system of sodium sulfate and vanadium pentoxide at varying temperatures and durations. The corrosion products, microstructure, and element distribution of hot extruded Inconel in Na₂SO₄ and V₂O₅ molten salt systems were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analyses. This study demonstrates that corrosion of the alloy increases with time at a constant temperature. During the initial stage of corrosion, the surface of the alloy is primarily composed of a dense oxide layer consisting of Cr₂O₃ and NiO. However, after exposure to the salt bath for 24 h, a chemical reaction occurs between the alloy and vanadium (V), resulting in the formation of CrVO₄ and Ni₃V₂O₈. Furthermore, the intrusion of sulfur (S) element into the matrix leads to the formation of internal sulfides, including Ni-, Cr-, and Mo-based sulfides, which accelerate intergranular and intracrystalline corrosion. As the corrosion temperature rises, the surface microstructure of the corrosion layer transforms from powder to salt particles and then to massive particles. The corrosion products exhibit a clear stratification, while the alloy undergoes simultaneous oxidation and vulcanization processes.
