AbstractAlloy 22 [UNS N06022] is now being considered for construction of high level waste containers to be emplaced at Yucca Mountain and elsewhere. In essence, this alloy is 20.0–22.5% Cr, 12.5–14.5% Mo, 2.0–6.0% Fe, 2.5–3.5% W, with the balance being Ni. Other impurity elements include P, Si, S, Mn, Co and V. Cobalt may be present at a maximum concentration of 2.5%. Detailed mechanistic models have been developed to account for the corrosion of Alloy 22 surfaces in crevices that will inevitably form. Such occluded areas experience substantial decreases in pH, with corresponding elevations in chloride concentration. Experimental work has been undertaken to validate the crevice corrosion model, including parallel studies with 304 stainless steel.

Artificially creviced Alloy 22 (N06022) may be susceptible to crevice corrosion in the presence of high-chloride aqueous solutions, especially at higher temperatures and at anodic potentials. The presence of oxyanions in the electrolyte, particularly nitrate, inhibits the nucleation and growth of crevice corrosion. The current results show that crevice corrosion will develop in Alloy 22 when a constant potential above the crevice repassivation potential is applied to a creviced specimen. The analyses of the current output showed the presence of three characteristic domains: (1) passivation or induction time, (2) nucleation and growth, and (3) stifling and arrest. That is, under the tested conditions, crevice corrosion did initiate but after it reached a critical stage of growth, further damage stalled and the output anodic current returned to the passive values before the nucleation of the attack.

The nitrate ion (NO3−) is an inhibitor for crevice corrosion of Alloy 22 (N06022) in chloride (Cl−) aqueous solutions. Naturally formed electrolytes may contain both chloride and nitrate ions. The higher the ratio R = [NO3−]/[Cl−] in the solution the stronger the inhibition of crevice corrosion. Atmospheric desert dust contains both chloride and nitrate salts, generally based on sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+). Some of these salts may deliquescence at relatively low humidity at temperatures on the order of 150°C and higher. The resulting deliquescent brines are highly concentrated and especially rich in nitrate. Electrochemical tests have been performed to explore the anodic behavior of Alloy 22 in high chloride high nitrate electrolytes at temperatures as high as 150°C at ambient atmospheres. Naturally formed brines at temperatures higher than 120°C do not induce crevice corrosion in Alloy 22 because they contain high levels of nitrate. The inhibitive effect of nitrate on crevice corrosion is still active for temperatures higher than 100°C.

Alloy 22 (N06022) may be susceptible to crevice corrosion in chloride solutions. Nitrate acts as an inhibitor to crevice corrosion. Several papers have been published regarding the effect of nitrate on the corrosion resistance of Alloy 22 at temperatures 100°C and lower. However, very little is known about the behavior of this alloy in highly concentrated brines at temperatures above 100°C. In the current work, electrochemical tests have been carried out to explore the anodic behavior of Alloy 22 in high chloride high nitrate electrolytes at temperatures as high as 160°C at ambient atmospheres. Even though Alloy 22 may adopt corrosion potentials in the order of +0.5 V (in the saturated silver chloride scale), it does not suffer crevice corrosion if there is high nitrate in the solution. That is, the inhibitive effect of nitrate on crevice corrosion is active for temperatures higher than 100°C.

AbstractA probabilistic model to predict the lifetimes of the engineered barrier system proposed for the Yucca Mountain repository is described. The model assumes that the titanium Grade-7 drip shield will fail by hydrogen-induced cracking and the Alloy-22 waste package by a combination of passive and crevice corrosion. The model predicts that crevice corrosion of the waste package can be completely avoided ifthe drip shield deflects seepage drips for between 2000 (realistic behaviour) and 6000 years (conservative behaviour). Sensitivity calculations on the crevice corrosion model suggest that early waste package failure is extremely unlikely providing the drip shield performs its function for a minimum of ~ 300 years.
