Transmission electron microscopy of metallic/intermetallic composite materials is most challenging since the microscopist typically has great difficulty preparing specimens with uniform electron thin areas in adjacent phases. The application of ion milling for thinning foils from such materials has been quite effective. Although composite specimens prepared by ion milling have yielded much microstructural information, this technique has some inherent drawbacks such as the possible generation of ion damage near sample surfaces.

ABSTRACTIn the scheme for geological disposal of high level radioactive nuclear wastes, the burial pit is to be isolated from the sphere of human life by a multiple-barrier system, which consists of an artificial barrier, composed of a canister, an overpack and a bentonite cushioning layer, and a natural barrier, which is essentially the bedrock. As the greatest as well as essentially the sole detriment to its integrity would be corrosion by groundwater. The groundwater comes to it seeping through the bentonite zone, thereby attaining conceivably the pH of transition from general corrosion to passivity, pHd, the behaviors of mild steel in such a groundwater environment have been examined. It has been shown that the pHd is lowered (enlargement of the passivity domain) with rising temperature and carbonate-bicarbonate concentration, while it is raised (enlargement of the general corrosion region) with increasing concentrations of chloride and sulfate ions.
