Title: CORROSION OF STAINLESS STEEL IN HNO$sub 3$-HF SOLUTIONS

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4123852· OSTI ID:4123852

Studies were made on the safe handling of HHO/sub 3/-HF solutions in 304 L and 309SCb stainless-steel equipment under carefully controlled conditions. The corrosion behavior of both wrought and welded 304L and 309SCb was investigated in various HNO/sub 3/--HF solutions, ranging in HNO/sub 3/ concentration from 0 to 10.0 M and HF concentration from 0.01 to 1.5 M, at temperatures from 24 deg C to the boiling point.
