The ammonothermal growth of different bulk group III nitride materials enables cost-efficient production of high-quality single crystals. Despite its advantages this process is limited due to the corrosive ammonothermal environment. This environment consists of supercritical ammonia with acidic or basic additives at high temperatures and pressures in high-pressure cells made of a nickel-base alloy. As a consequence of corrosion, large amounts of metallic impurities are detectable in the grown crystals. The mechanisms of corrosion are not well understood. A method is presented to investigate corroded autoclaves, caused by the interaction with supercritical fluid, together with first results regarding the degeneration of autoclave material.
