This paper presents the stability and corrosion testing results of a candidate high temperature phase change material (PCM) for potential use in concentrating solar power applications. The investigated PCM is a eutectic mixture of NaCl and Na2CO3 and both are low cost materials. This PCM has a melting temperature of 635 degrees C and a relatively high latent heat of fusion of 308.1 J/g. The testing was performed by means of an electric furnace subjected to 150 melt-freeze cycles between 600 degrees C and 650 degrees C. The results showed that this PCM candidate has no obvious decomposition up to 650 degrees C after 150 cycles and stainless steel 316 potentially can be used as the containment material under the minimized oxygen atmosphere.
