In order to study the effect of oxygen impurities on corrosion behavior, the platform for supercritical carbon dioxide corrosion experiment was built. The effect of oxygen impurities on the corrosion characteristics of heat-resistant steel T91, 310S and Inconel 625 was studied in supercritical carbon dioxide environment with oxygen concentration of 10-4. The corrosion mass increase, phase composition of corrosion products, surface morphology and element distribution were analyzed by means of weighing, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectrometer. Results show that the corrosion mass increase of T91, 310S and Inconel 625 in supercritical carbon dioxide environment containing oxygen impurities was 1.36, 1.55 and 3.19 times higher than that in high-purity carbon dioxide environment, respectively. In supercritical carbon dioxide environment containing oxygen impurities, the content of Fe2O3 in T91 corrosion products increases, a large amount of vane-like Cr2O3 appeares on 310S surface, and nodules on the surface of Inconel 625 disappear. Compared with the high-purity carbon dioxide environment, the mass fraction of carbon on the surface of the three materials has been greatly reduced to about 5% in supercritical carbon dioxide environment containing oxygen impurities. Besides, the corrosion mass increase curves of three materials obey the parabolic law, and the corrosion resistance of 310S and Inconel 625 is significantly better than that of T91.
