Alloy 22 (N06022), is a nickel based alloy, with a high content of chromium (∼22%) and molybdenum (∼13%) that belongs to the Ni-Cr-Mo alloys family. Different studies show that the alloy 22 is resistant to generalized and localized (in crevices) corrosion in aqueous solution, with high chloride concentration, and in a wide range of temperatures. Electrochemical techniques such as Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and PotentiodynamicGalvanostatic-Potentiodynamic (PD-GS-PD) and non-electrochemical techniques such as the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), were applied to determine the effect of the ionic nitrates and chlorides upon the alloy 22 at 90 ^oC generalized and localized corrosion. The results show that for a critical molar concentration ratio R= [NO₃ ^-]/ [Cl^-] ≥0.2 it is completely eliminated the alloy 22 susceptibility to the crevice corrosion. The corrosion speed rates obtained were about 0.1μm/year at 24 hours of immersion.
