Abstract

This paper reports on a laboratory study of erosion-corrosion on aluminum surfaces in high temperature water. It is essentially a continuation of a similar previous study with refinement in testing procedure and the addition of electrochemical measurements to study the phenomenon. The electrochemical procedures are of intrinsic worth, because such measurements have never before been conducted with such an unusual cell geometry as imposed by the erosion-corrosion testing apparatus.

Effect of water chemistry on the erosion-corrosion of aluminum in high temperature high velocity water

Journal Article Jones, D - Corrosion (Houston); (United States)

Laboratory experiments were conducted to simulate the erosion-corrosion of aluminum fuel cladding in water-cooled, plutonium producing, nuclear reactors. Water quality was critical in causing attack in high temperature pressurized water. Little attack occurred in distilled water, whereas attack was progressively worse in river water and well water. Attack in well water was simulated by dissolving 50 ppm CaCO/sub 3/ and 10 ppm SiO/sub 2/ in distilled water. A corrosion enhancing synergism was apparent between dissolved bicarbonate and silicate ions. 12 refs.

Materials problems in fluidized-bed combustion systems: high-temperature erosion-corrosion by high-velocity (200ms/s) particles

Technical Report Barkalow, R.; Goebel, J.; Pettit, F.

The response of nickel- and cobalt base superalloys, aluminide coatings for these alloys, and Si/sub 3/N/sub 4/ to erosion-oxidation and erosion-hot corrosion conditions has been studied at 871/sup 0/C (1600/sup 0/F) in a high velocity gas stream 200 m/sec (656 ft/sec). The experiments were performed in a dynamic combustor (burner rig) operated on aircraft-grade jet fuel and compressed air. Erosive conditions were achieved by injecting abrasive powder into the burner rig. Alumina powders with average particle sizes of 20, 2.5, and 0.3 ..mu..m MgO were used as abrasive media. In the erosion-oxidation experiments, Si/sub 3/N/sub 4/ was much more resistantmore »« less

Erosion-corrosion of metals and alloys at high temperatures

Technical Report Wright, I; Nagarajan, V; Merz, W

This project was undertaken to investigate the possibility of developing guidelines for the incorporation of erosion resistance into high-temperature alloys. An apparatus was developed to allow the laboratory study of erosion of a number of alloys over a range of conditions of erosion at temperatures up to 760/sup 0/C (1400/sup 0/F). The results of extensive studies showed that the conventional guideline of increasing hardness giving increasing wear resistance is not valid under conditions of high-temperature erosion-corrosion. The alloys which exhibited the lowest rates of material loss under the conditions used were soft and weak at temperature, but were highly oxidationmore »« less
Influence of velocity on corrosion of copper in alkaline chloride solutions

Journal Article Diem, C; Orazem, M - Corrosion (Houston); (United States)

It has been reported previously that the mechanism for the erosion-corrosion of copper (Cu) in seawater is the removal of protective layers by hydrodynamic shear. This hypothesis was tested by studying the anodic dissolution of Cu in aerated 3.5 wt % sodium chloride (NaCl) solutions using a system designed to isolate the effect of surface shear stress. The experimental apparatus consisted of an axisymmetric impinging jet and disk electrode coupled with a scanning ellipsometer. This allowed a phenomenon occurring at a critical shear stress, such as removal of protective films, to be seen at a corresponding radial position. Enhancement ofmore »« less

EFFECT OF HEAT FLUX ON THE CORROSION OF ALUMINUM BY WATER. PART II. INFLUENCE OF WATER TEMPERATURE, VELOCITY, AND pH ON CORROSION-PRODUCT FORMATION

Technical Report Griess, J.; Savage, H.; Mauney, T.; ...

S>The influence of water temperature, pB, and velocity on corrosion and on corrosion-product formation on the surface of aluminum alloys subjected te a very high heat flux was detemnined. At a heat flux of 1.5 x 10/sup 6/ Btu/hr-ft/ sup 2/ and with cooling-water temperatures and velocities in the ranges of 131 to 223 deg F and 32 te 48 fps, respectively, a tightly adherent layer of corrosion products ( alpha Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ - H/sub 2/O) formed on the surface of the aluminum specimens at a linear rate during 10-day tests. The rate at which the corrosion product formedmore »« less
