ERDL-NPFO QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT ON ANPP CORROSION NUMBER SIXTEEN, APRIL THROUGH JUNE 1961

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4837230

The 2000-hr autoclave tests on Ni and Inconel were completed, and weight loss data are reported for Ni and Monel. The Ni coupons exposed tc water containing 1000 ppm Cl and 15 ppm O suffered pitting corrosion. The operation of the corrosion loop and the heat exchangers tested are discussed. Test results (heat transfer index and corrosion) are given for Inconel and bimetal heat exchangers; the Inconel vessels performed well with relatively little corrosion, while the bimetal vessels suffered extensive corrosion of the carbon steel secondary surface of the tubing. The status of model and miniature heat exchangers under test, fabrication, or design is tabulated. (D. L.C.)
