Environmental Considerations in the Studies of Corrosion Resistant Alloys for High-Level Radioactive Waste Containment

摘要

The corrosion resistance of Alloy 22 (UNS No.: N06022) was studied in simulated ground water different pH values and ionic contents at various temperatures. Potentiodynamic polarization techniques were used to study the electrochemical behavior and measure the critical potentials in the various systems. Alloy 22 was found to be resistant to localized corrosion in the simulated ground waters tested.
