Abstract
Hydro corrosion resistance of Ln2Si2O7(Ln=Nd, Er, Lu), mullite (Al6Si2O13), apatite phase (CaYb4Si3O13) and Al2O3 was investigated at 1500°C. In Ln2Si2O7 phases, Ln=Nd and Er samples were completely dissolved by aggressive water vapor at 1500°C. apatite phase was decomposed during corrosion test. Lu2Si2O7 and mullite showed excellent water vapor corrosion protection.
