AbstractAlloy 22 belongs to the Ni-Cr-Mo family and it is highly resistant to general and localized corrosion. It may suffer crevice corrosion in aggressive environmental conditions. This alloy has been considered as a corrosion-resistant barrier for high-level nuclear waste containers. It is assumed that localized corrosion may occurs when the corrosion potential (ECORR) is equal or higher than the crevice corrosion repassivation potential (ER,CREV). The latter is measured by means of different electrochemical techniques using artificially creviced specimens. These techniques include cyclic potentiodynamic polarization (CPP) curves, Tsujikawa-Hisamatsu electrochemical (THE) method or other non-standard methods, such as the PD-GS-PD technique.The aim of the present work was to determine reliable critical or protection potentials for crevice corrosion of Alloy 22 in pure chloride solutions at 90°C. Conservative methodologies (which include extended potentiostatic steps) were applied for determining protection potentials below which crevice corrosion cannot initiate and propagate. Results from PD-GS-PD technique were compared with those from these methodologies in order to assess their reliability. Results from the CPP and the THE methods were also considered for comparison. The repassivation potential resulting from the PD-GS-PD technique was conservative and reproducible, and it did not depend on the amount of previous crevice corrosion propagation.

ABSTRACTAlloy 22 is the material preferred by the U.S. Department of Energy for the waste package outer container for geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste at the proposed repository site in Yucca Mountain, Nevada. The susceptibility of Alloy 22 to localized corrosion is an important consideration in the evaluation of the waste package behavior and the assessment of the overall performance of the proposed repository. The effects of the environment chemical composition and temperature on localized corrosion susceptibility were examined by measuring the repassivation potential for crevice corrosion in chloride-containing solutions at temperatures ranging from 80 to 150°C. The effect of potentially inhibiting anionic species, such as nitrate, was also determined. In addition to the mill annealed material, tests were conducted on both welded and thermally aged material to evaluate microstructural effects related to container fabrication processes. The resistance of Alloy 22 to localized corrosion decreased with increasing temperature and chloride concentration. Welding and thermal aging also decreased the localized corrosion resistance of the alloy.

AbstractThe DOE is currently preparing a license application for the permanent disposal of high level radioactive waste at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. The proposed design of waste packages for the disposal of high level radioactive waste consists of an outer container made of Alloy 22, a corrosionresistant Ni-Cr-Mo-W alloy, surrounding an inner container made of Type 316 nuclear grade stainless steel. Under conditions where passivity is maintained, the uniform corrosion rate of Alloy 22 is slow and long waste package lifetimes are projected. However, the initiation of localized corrosion such as pitting or crevice corrosion may decrease waste package lifetimes. In this study the crevice corrosion susceptibility of Alloy22 was determined in chloride solutions with additions of oxyanions that are present in the groundwater at the potential repository site. When present in sufficient concentrations relative to chloride, nitrate, carbonate, bicarbonate, and sulfate inhibited pitting and crevice corrosion of Alloy 22.

This study compares the localized (exterior) corrosion susceptibility of chromized steel to bench-mark ferritic stainless steels for automotive exhaust applications. Continuous near-neutral salt fog exposure (ASTM B117) was used for this purpose. Corrosion susceptibility was determined using mass loss measurements coupled with a post exposure metallographic examination. Complementary potentiodynamic polarization measurements were made in the bulk salt solution to help interpret the relative performance. The elevated Cr content provided by the chromizing surface treatment provides comparable corrosion resistance to the more highly alloyed ferritic stainless steels studied. The major factor affecting localized corrosion susceptibility is the formation of rust deposits, which act as effective pit-like corrosion initiation sites.
