ADDITIONAL TESTS ON THE CORROSION OF CARBON STEEL FOLLOWING THE TURCO-4512 DECONTAMINATION PROCESS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4180757
Carbon steel, 304 stainless steel, and Zircaloy-2 coupons were treated in Turco-4512-2b inhibited phosphoric acid decontaminating solution and then charged in a pH 10, 290 deg C recirculating water loop. The decontaminating solution pretreatment did not affect the corrosion behavior of 304 s/s or Zircaloy-2 but did increase the carbon steel initial penetrations by a factor of 2 and the corrosion product film weights by a factor of 1.7 over those of the nontreated carbon steel coupons. The corrosion rate of the carbon steel coupons was not increased by the decontaminating solution pretreatment. (auth)
