To address the issue of corrosive wear resulting from the addition of desulphurization wastewater into the wet slag removal system, this study investigated the corrosive wear behavior of chain steel (specifically 17NiCrMo6 steel) in desulphurization wastewater with varying chloride concentrations. Weight loss, microphase characterization, and electrochemical testing methods were employed for analysis. The findings indicate that as the chloride concentration increases, the weight loss rates for both pure corrosion and corrosive wear exhibit a pattern of initial increase, followed by a decrease, and then another increase. This trend can be attributed to the fact that as the chloride concentration rises, the corrosion products become denser, thereby increasing the difficulty of the corrosion reaction.
