Description

It is known that the titanium alloys are some of the most promising candidates as container materials for the long-term disposal of high-level nuclear waste (HLW) in rock salt formations. In the case of titanium waste containers, between the containers walls and the surrounding buffer material used to pack the disposal borehole some crevices can appear in the welded zone container/ shielding lid, under a biofilm, etc. In this aim, we studied the susceptibility to crevice corrosion of welded titanium alloys -Ti gr.2 and gr.12 - in chloride solutions by electrochemical methods at 90 deg. C . In addition, the superficial oxide films were analyzed by metallography. (authors) Key words: welded titanium alloys, crevice corrosion
