ALUMINUM ALLOY CORROSION
To be published in TID-7642 Proceedings of the Conference on Research Reactors, held in Gatlinburg, Tenn., Sept. 17-19, 1982. The dynamic corrosion of all the aluminum alloys tested has proven to be particularly sensitive to testing parameters in the 200-325 deg C temperature range. Frequently it is difficult to reproduce corrosion data in a given dynamic test loop, while variations from laboratorv to laboratory have shown rate factors of 25 or more for the same nominal conditions of temperature and velocity. Several hypotheses have now been proposed to account for these variations. An attempt is made to examine some potertial research reactor corrosion problems in terms of predictions of the hypotheses. The effect of the high level of radiation encountered in such reactors is an unknown factor and only a full scale in- reactor test can provide final answers. (R.J.S.)
