摘要

Experimental work was undertaken to evaluate the long-term corrosion behaviour of a carbon steel used fuel container in postulated Canadian deep geological repository environments. Specifically, atmospheric corrosion testing was conducted in anoxic atmospheres at 30, 50 and 70°C, over a wide range of relative humidity (30-100% RH). Hydrogen evolved from steel corrosion was initially monitored with a high sensitivity pressure gauge system (the sensitivity of such measurements is ca. 0.005 μm y~(-1)) and later using a solid-state electrochemical hydrogen sensor (the hydrogen sensor can detect the pressure increase down to a limit of ca. 0.1 Pa corresponding to a corrosion rate as low as ca. 0.0001 μm y~(-1)). Results observed in this study indicate that it is highly likely that the corrosion rate will fall below 1 nm y~(-1) within a year once an anoxic condition is attained. In parallel with the corrosion experiments, corrosion product surface analyses were performed using (i) scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM/EDX) to determine the morphology of the corrosion product films, (ii) X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to identify the chemical composition of the films, and (iii) Raman and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to study bonding. Oxides formed on steel surfaces were found to consist mostly of Fe_3O_4, with some Fe(III) species from traces of air exposure; carbonate was detected on the Nad contaminated surfaces which had been subject to a degree of prior aerobic corrosion. A high humidity (100%) environment produces more loose surface oxide than a lower humidity environment (75%). The experimental results support the use of carbon steel as a potential used fuel container material in a Canadian deep geological repository located in sedimentary rock.
