Mechanically assisted corrosion chemical

In the mechanism of corrosion due to MOX—clad interaction the fission product tellurium plays a dominant role, but several interdependent parameters can interfere among which on one hand, the critical pin bum-up rate (5—6%) having to be reached to generate the necessary chemical conditions to activate the Te-assisted corrosion and, on the other hand, the in-pile clad deformation via swelling and irradiation creep that produces an overheating of the fuel and thus an acceleration of the corrosion as shown in Fig. 8.3 [19]. 

A multilayer metallic membrane reactor for H2S decomposition was patented by Edlund and Friesen [78] and, later, further described by Edlund and Pledger [79, 80]. The membrane consisted of three distinct layers a base-metal/mechanical support layer, an intermediate layer and a coating-metal layer. The coating metal was a H2-permeable metal resistant to chemical corrosion by H2S (e.g. Pd alloyed with about 40% Cu). It was reported that at 700°C, the membrane-assisted... 

One case in which this analysis can be usefully applied is that of the elecfio-chemically assisted (stress corrosion) cracking of metals submerged in an electrolyte and subjected to a cyclic mechanical load or stress, corresponding to vibrational... 

The abrasive-free slurry approach relies on modification of the Cu-oxide layer to a copper complex layer with different chemical and mechanical properties that facilitate removal without assistance fi om abrasives. The abrasive-free polishing solutions are complex, and optimization requires understanding the impact of each component (oxidizer, complexing agent, corrosion inhibitor, and pH adjustor) on the Cu-complex formation and defectivity. 

Corrosion inhibitors can be used to assist the corrosion resisting performance of aluminum and ifs alloys when exposed to aggressive aqueous environments. In most cases, an inhibitor is a chemical substance, soluble in water that slows corrosion. There are a range of chemicals that inhibit A1 corrosion however, the selection and delivery mechanism of inhibitors is in many cases application specific.
