This research aims to investigate the hot corrosion behaviour of SMO 254 steel samples after PCGTA and CO 2  laser beam welding, as well as air oxidation. A salt mixture simulated the waste incinerator environment involving 40 wt. % Na 2 SO 4  + 40 wt. % K 2 SO 4  + 10 wt. % NaCl + 10 wt. % KCl are employed. The hot corrosion tests were carried out for 103.33 h at 800 °C, with a thermogravimetric investigation availed to calculate the impact of corrosion. The weight gain rate for PCGTAW molten salt corroded specimens is greater (33.45 mg/cm 2 ) than the weight gain rate for CO 2  Laser molten salt corroded specimens, which is 67.55% higher. The weight of the hot corroded sample rises in the molten salt surroundings due to the creation of compounds including CrS, FeMo 2 S 4 , Na 2 S, Fe 2 O 3 , K 2 S 3 , Cl 4 CrNa 2 . CO 2  LBW air oxidation has the lowest rate of corrosion due to the synthesis of beneficial oxides, such as NiCr 2 O 4 , NiO, and Cr 2 O 3 . Optical microscopy and SEM/EDS were employed on both surface and cross-sectional surfaces to get microstructure at the interface of the fusion region, parent metal, and fusion region using point mapping, line mapping, and X-ray mapping techniques. The corrosion products produced during corrosion were studied using XRD.
