THE CORROSION OF ALUMINUM ALLOYS IN HIGH-VELOCITY WATER AT 170 TO 290 C

Description: Short-term corrosion tests with types 1100, 5154, 6061, and X8001 aluminum alloys were conducted in water at flow rates rsnging between 20 and 107 fps and at temperatures between 170 and 290 deg C. Corrosion of the alloys was less dependent on flow rate in the range of 20 to 67 fps than at higher velocities. At temperatures as high as 230 deg C no evidence of localized attack, except for random shallow pitting, was exhibited by these alloys, and all had comparable corrosion rates. At 260 and 29… more

Final report on PCRV thermal cylinder axial tendon failures

Description: The post-test examination of the failed tendons from the PCRV thermal cylinder experiment has been concluded. Failures in the wires are attributed to stress-corrosion cracking. The cause of tendon failures has not been unequivocably established, but they may have been due to nitrates in the duct. The wires employed in the manufacture of the tendons will crack in less than 72 hr in a 0.2 M solution of ammonium nitrate at 70$sup 0$C. The quality of the wires is poor, and surface cracks were detec… more

Effect of heat flux on the corrosion of aluminium by water. part 4 tests relative to the advanced test reactor and correlation with previous results.

Description: The corrosion of 8081 and X-8001 aluminum alloys and the resultant formation of an adherent corrosion product on the corroding surface were investigated under conditions (except radiation) comparable to those that will exist on the surface of fuel-element cladding during operation of the Advanced Test Reactor. Since previous experiments indicated that corrosion penetration of the aluminum clad was unlikely during a reactor cycle provided the water chemistry is properly controlled, most of the s… more

Stress corrosion cracking of zirconium in nitric acid

Description: The susceptibility of zirconium and its common alloys to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in nitric acid was investigated by slow strain-rate and constant deflection techniques. Cracking occurred at 25/sup 0/C over a wide range of acid concentrations and electrochemical potentials. The crack velocity increased slightly with increasing temperature. The failure mode was transgranular and the morphology was similar to SCC failures of zirconium alloys in other environments. The fracture was very ori… more

THE OXIDATION OF CHROMIUM(III) TO CHROMIUM(VI) IN THE PRESENCE OF PLATINUM METALS

Description: BS>Ruthenium, either as soluble salts, powdered metal, or oxide, catalyzed the oxidation of Cr(III) to Cr(VI) in dilute oxygenated sulfuric acid solutions. Under the same conditions, in the absence of ruthenium, Cr(Vl) was not produced. In a 2 M Al(NO/sub 3/)/sub 3/-1 M HNO/sub 3/ solution at atmospheric boiling point, ruthenium and compounds of ruthenium, platinum, palladium, rhodium, and osmium very markedly increased the rate at which Cr(III) was oxidized to Cr(VI). Very low concentrations o… more

Achieving increased spent fuel storage capacity at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR)

Description: The HFIR facility was originally designed to store approximately 25 spent cores, sufficient to allow for operational contingencies and for cooling prior to off-site shipment for reprocessing. The original capacity has now been increased to 60 positions, of which 53 are currently filled (September 1994). Additional spent cores are produced at a rate of about 10 or 11 per year. Continued HFIR operation, therefore, depends on a significant near-term expansion of the pool storage capacity, as well … more
