Magneto corrosion

Corrosion of Magneto-optical Disks 7.1 FeTb and Alloys... 

Nuclear and magneto-hydrodynamic electric power generation systems have been produced on a scale which could lead to industrial production, but to-date technical problems, mainly connected with corrosion of the containing materials, has hampered full-scale development. In the case of nuclear power, the proposed fast reactor, which uses fast neutron fission in a small nuclear fuel element, by comparison with fuel rods in thermal neutron reactors, requires a more rapid heat removal than is possible by water cooling, and a liquid sodium-potassium alloy has been used in the development of a near-industrial generator. The fuel container is a vanadium sheath with a niobium outer cladding, since this has a low fast neutron capture cross-section and a low rate of corrosion by the liquid metal coolant. The liquid metal coolant is transported from the fuel to the turbine generating the electric power in stainless steel... 

The critical metallic components of advanced magnetic and magneto-optic (MO) storage devices— thin-film metal disks, inductive or magnetoresistive heads, and MO layers—are all susceptible to corrosion and each has been a subject of considerable study. Several review articles covering corrosion of magnetic-storage media may be found in the literature [135,136].
