Corrosion of Aluminum Alloys by Flowing High-Temperature Water.

Review of oxidation rates of DOE spent nuclear fuel : Part 1 : nuclear fuel.

“…The corrosion rates of aluminum alloys reported by a number of investigators were reviewed in this report. 111,112,113,114,115,116,117,118 The aluminum alloy data were reviewed to evaluate whether the aluminum based dispersion fuels behave like aluminum or behave like uranium. The review was limited to the oxidation rates of aluminum alloys types 6061 and 8001, which are typical of alloys used in reactor applications.…”

“…Hilton from Argonne National Laboratory evaluated SNF oxidation data [6]. The oxidation rate data in his report were from literature data [5,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] and were limited to pure oxygen and water environments with low conductivity and negligible impurity levels, which would represent baseline corrosion kinetics and be representative of corrosion in L Basin water. Hilton developed Arrhenius equations for both aluminum and aluminum-matrix uranium aluminide dispersions and uranium silicides.…”
