ABSTRACTNi-Cr-Mo alloys offer an outstanding corrosion resistance in a wide variety of highly corrosive environments. Alloys 625, C-22, C-22HS and HYBRID-BC1 are considered among candidates as engineered barriers of nuclear repositories. The objective of the present work was to assess the effect of temperature on the crevice corrosion resistance of these alloys. The crevice corrosion repassivation potential (ER,CREV) of the tested alloys was determined by the Potentiodynamic-Galvanostatic-Potentiodynamic (PD-GS-PD) method. Alloy HYBRID-BC1 was the most resistant to chloride-induced crevice corrosion, followed by alloys C-22HS, C-22 and 625. ER,CREV showed a linear decrease with temperature. There is a temperature above which ER,CREV does not decrease anymore, reaching a minimum value. This ER,CREV value is a strong parameter for assessing the localized corrosion susceptibility of a material in a long term timescale, since it is independent of temperature, chloride concentration and geometrical variables such as crevicing mechanism, crevice gap and type of crevice former.

ABSTRACTNickel base alloys are considered among candidate materials for engineered barriers of nuclear repositories. The localized corrosion resistance is a determining factor in the materials selection for this application. This work compares the crevice corrosion resistance of selected nickel base alloys, namely 625, G-30, G-35, C-22, C-22HS and HYBRID-BC1. The crevice corrosion repassivation potential (ER,CREV) of the tested alloys was determined by the Potentiodynamic-Galvanostatic-Potentiodynamic (PD-GS-PD) method. The testing temperature was 60ºC and the chloride concentrations used were 0.1 M, 1 M and 10 M.A linear relationship between ER,CREV and the logarithm of chloride concentration was found. ER,CREV increased linearly with PREN (Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number) in concentrated chloride solutions. ER,CREV is the sum of three contributions: ECORR*, η and ΔΦ. ECORR* and η increased linearly with PREN, while ΔΦ increased linearly with PREN for concentrated chloride solutions, not showing a definite trend with PREN for the less concentrated solutions.

Small amounts of nickel are added to titanium to improve the crevice corrosion resistance but this results in an alloy which has sheet fabrication difficulties and is subject to the formation of large Ti2Ni precipitates. These large precipitates can serve as local corrosion sites; but in a smaller more widely dispersed form, they can have a beneficial effect on crevice corrosion resistance. The purpose of the present work is to show that the addition of a small amount of Mo to the Ti-1.5Ni alloy reduces the Ti2Ni precipitate size and produces a more elongated grained microstructure. It has recently been reported that small additions of Mo to Ti-0.8 to lw/o Ni alloys produce good crevice corrosion resistance and improved fabrication properties.
