Fe-Cr alloys with different chromium contents have been designed in the current study for the ball mill liner working in weakly alkaline slurry. The structure, mechanical properties, corrosion behavior and erosion-corrosion behavior of the alloys were investigated. The result shows that with the increasing Cr content, the hardness and corrosion resistance of the alloy are improved. However, the impact toughness of the alloy shows a decreasing trend with the increase of Cr content. The alloy with the Cr content of 6.978 wt% exhibits the best erosion-corrosion resistance among all alloys in the weakly alkaline slurry. Further analysis shows that the erosion-corrosion mass loss of these alloys in weakly alkaline slurry mainly results from pure mechanical erosion and the interaction between corrosion and erosion. The damage process has also been discussed by interaction models of corrosion and erosion. The result is beneficial to provide reference for selection and development of erosion-corrosion resistant material for ball mill liner working in weakly alkaline medium.
