CORROSION OF NICKEL-BASE SPECIMENS EXPOSED IN THE VOLATILITY PILOT PLANT MARK III FLUORINATOR

Description: The combination of operating temperatures around 550 deg C with LiF present in the salt baths produces about the same bulk metal losses on Ni and Ni- base alloys as was found by operating at 650 deg C without Li in the salt baths. The presence of U accelerates corrosion of Ni and Ni-base alloys during the Volatility Process fluorination cycle. Prior F conditioning of L Ni decreases corrosion of the material during subsequent fluorination. Prior F conditioning of INCO-61 weld metal increases the… more

Corrosion Associated With Hydrofluorination in the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Fluoride Volatility Process

Description: Studies carried out on corrosion associated with the hydrofluorination- dissolution phase in the fused-salt Fluoride Volatility Process are summarized. Corrosion for hydrofluorination-dissolver vessels used in bench-scale and semiworks-scale process development at ORNL is discussed. The results of a study on construction materials for the dissolution phase are presented. Corrosion studies at ANL are described for comparison purposes. A full-size hydrofluorinator dissolver is described. (M.C.G.)

CORROSION ASSOCIATED WITH FLUORINATION IN THE OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORY FLUORIDE VOLATILITY PROCESS

Description: : : 9 7 7 8 6 9 : = 7 9 9used during the fluorination of fused-salt fuels and subsequent associated operations in the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Fluoride Volatility Process was evaluated. Corrosive attack is reported as mils per month based on molten salt residence time or mils per hour based on fluorine exposure time. Two fluorinators were used in the VPP to carry out the fluorination reactions. These vessels, Mark I and Mark II, were fabricated into right cylinders, approx 4 1/2 ft … more

M-25, Butt Welds in Process Piping

Description: Metal-arc and inert-gas shielded tungsten-arc processes were compared for circumferential butt welding of austenitic stainless steel process pipe. Inert-gas tungsten-arc welding was superior to other techniques. (C.J.G.)
