ABSTRACTA corrosion test of a model waste glass was carried out with and without carbon steel, and the leaching behavior of the glass was studied under reducing condition in a glove box purged with N2. The redox potential and pH were monitored, and the concentration of Fe, Na, Si, and Mo in the leachates were measured to understand the leaching behavior of the glass. The redox potential of the leachates obtained in the corrosion test coexisting with carbon steel under reducing conditions showed initially that it was based on an Fe0/Fe2+ redox potential, and gradually it increased to that based on Fe2+/Fe3+ one. The corrosion rate of the glass under oxidizing conditions was ten times greater than that obtained with carbon steel, and that under reducing condition with carbon steel was negligible small.

ABSTRACTA corrosion test of model waste glass was carried out with and without a carbon steel under reducing condition in a glove box purged with nitrogen gas, and then the characteristics of alteration layers of the glass were examined.On the glass surfaces corroded under reducing condition with carbon steel, a thick precipitated layer was observed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). In this layer concentrated iron was observed by Particle Induced X-ray Emission Spectrometry (PIXE) and Rutherford Backseattering Spectrometry (RBS). Such a thick precipitated layer was not observed on the corroded glass under oxidizing conditions with and without carbon steel and reducing condition without carbon steel.

ABSTRACTCarbon steel is one of the candidate overpack materials for high-level waste disposal and is expected to assure complete containment of vitrified waste glass during an initial period of 1000 years in Japan. The lifetime of the carbon steel overpack will depend on its corrosion rate. The corrosion rate of carbon steel is reduced by the presence of buffer material such as bentonite. Buffer material will delay the supply of corrosive materials and discharge of corrosion products through it. Carbon steel overpack will be corroded by consuming oxygen introduced by repository construction after closure of repository and then will keep the reducing environment in the vicinity of repository. The reducing condition will be expected to retard the migration of redox-sensitive radionuclides by lowering their solubilities. Therefore, the diffusion of corrosion products of iron in buffer material is important to discuss the corrosion rate of overpack, migration of redox-sensitive radionuclides and properties of buffer material. The purpose of this paper is to study diffusion behavior of a corrosion product of iron in compacted bentonites under a reducing condition with a carbon steel. The diffusion mechanism of iron in the compacted bentonites were discussed by estimation of iron species in the bentonite pore water. There were two diffusion paths of iron in the compacted bentonites used in this study; the fast path has low capacity of iron, ca. 1wt%, and large apparent diffusion coefficient, ca. 10−12 m2/s and the slow path has high capacity of iron, ca. 10wt%, and small apparent diffusion coefficient, ca. 10−14 m2/s.

Electromigration experiments have been carried out with source of iron ions supplied by anode corrosion of iron coupon. Iron ions migrated as fast as 2mm in 2 or 3 hours under electrical field of 100V/m to the direction of cathode. Because the iron ions displaced exchangeable sodium ions in bentonite at a ratio of 1 to 2 during the electromigration, migrating iron ion could be ferrous ion.

Abstract Corrosion rate data are presented for low carbon steel in (1) a combination of sulfur dioxide, water vapor and air, and (2) aqueous solutions of sulfurous acid in the absence of air, at ordinary temperature. Information as to the nature of the corrosion products is presented and it is shown that this depends on the place in which the corrosion takes place to an important extent.

Corrosion-resistant metals and alloys towards liquid metals determine the service performances and lifetime of the devices employing liquid metals. This paper studies the static corrosion behaviors of iron, chromium, nickel, low carbon steel, and four types of stainless steels (SS410, SS430, SS304, SS316L) in liquid Sb-Sn at 500 oC, aiming to screen corrosion-resistant SS for Li||Sb-Sn liquid metal batteries (LMBs). The corrosion rates of Fe and Ni are 0.94 μm h-1 and 6.03 μm h-1 after 160 h’s measurement, respectively. Cr shows a low corrosion rate of < 0.05μm h-1, which is due to the formation of a relatively stable Cr-Sb layer that may be able to prevent the interdiffusion between the solid substrate and liquid Sb-Sn. Ni has a high corrosion rate because the formed Ni-Sb and Ni-Sn compounds are soluble in the liquid Sb-Sn. The corrosion products of both pure metals and SS can be predicted by thermodynamic and phase diagram analysis. Among the four types of SS, SS430 shows the best corrosion resistance towards liquid Sb-Sb with a corrosion rate of 0.19 μm h-1. Therefore, a liquid Sb-Sn resistant material should have a high Cr content and a low Ni content, and this principle is applicable to design metallic materials not only for LMBs but also for other devices employing liquid Sb- and Sn-containing liquid metals.

The rate of carbon steel in SO2 Atmospheric Corrosion was modeled by grey model GM (1, 1). The accuracy and rationality of prediction model have been evaluated. The result indicated that the model had a better fitting accuracy. By comparing the calculated values with a predicted atmospheric corrosion rate of carbon steel after 264h, it showed that its relative error has been just 0.5619% which had higher forecast reliability.

The corrosion rates of low-carbon steel, and 304, 316 and 410/420 stainless steels in simulated geothermal media containing hydrogen sulfide have been measured by means of the polarization resistance technique. Good agreement was found between weight-loss and polarization resistance measurements of the corrosion rate for all the metals tested. Carbon steel formed a non-adherent film of mackinawite (Fe1 + xS). The lack of protection afforded to the steel by the film resulted in an approximately constant corrosion rate. The stainless steels also exhibited corrosion rates that were independent of time. However, the 410 and 420 alloys formed an adherent film consisting mainly of troilite ( FeS ) which provided only limited passivity. In contrast, the 304 and 316 alloys appeared to be essentially protected by a passive film which did not seem to involve an iron sulfide phase. However, all the stainless steels, particularly the 410 and 420 alloys, showed pitting, which indicated that some breakdown of the passive films occurred.

Abstract Models for predicting top-of-line corrosion (TLC) rates on carbon steels are important tools for cost-effectively designing and operating natural gas transportation pipelines. The work presented in this paper is aimed to investigate how the corrosion rates on carbon steel is affected by acids typically present in the transported pipeline fluids. This investigation may contribute to the development of improved models. In a series of experiments, the corrosion rate differences for pure CO2 (carbonic acid) corrosion and pure organic acid corrosion (acetic acid and formic acid) on X65 carbon steel were investigated at starting pH values; 4.5, 5.3, or 6.3. The experiments were conducted in deaerated low-salinity aqueous solutions at atmospheric pressure and temperature of 65 °C. The corrosion rates were evaluated from linear polarization resistance data as well as mass loss and released iron concentration. A correlation between lower pH values and increased corrosion rates was found for the organic acid experiments. However, the pH was not the most critical factor for the rates of carbon steel corrosion in these experiments. The experimental results showed that the type of acid species involved and the concentration of the undissociated acid in the solution influenced the corrosion rates considerably.
