摘要
The corrosion products produced on polycrystalline Ni metal and Ni-Cr (20%) (NiCr) alloy surfaces exposed to aqueous environments chosen to emulate possible solution conditions in the steam generator (SG) tubing of pressurized water reactors (PWR) were studied using XPS. Additional measurements modelling the distribution of oxidized Ni and Cr species on select alloy specimens were carried out using ToF SIMS. Exposure of Ni metal and NiCr alloy samples to mildly oxidizing potentials in basic solutions resulted in the preferential growth of a beta-Ni(OH)(2) phase; driven by the dissolution of metallic Ni at both 25 degrees C and 150 degrees C. The presence beta-Ni(OH)(2), Cr(OH)(3) and small amounts of a Cr6+-containing oxide on NiCr specimens oxidized under mildly oxidizing conditions at 150 degrees C in neutral solutions suggested that the dissolution of both metallic Ni and Cr followed by the back deposition of the corresponding corrosion products was responsible for oxide growth under these conditions. In acidic media oxide nucleation at 150 degrees C under mildly oxidizing potentials was determined to occur via the dissolution of both Ni and Cr species on NiCr specimens as well. The increased stability of Ni2+ in acidic solution led to a limited precipitation of beta-Ni(OH)(2) resulting in the formation of very thin oxides containing higher levels of Cr(OH)(3). Reactions on metallic Ni and NiCr surfaces under highly oxidizing potentials resulted in an increase in the NiO content of these films compared to similar exposures carried out at milder oxidation conditions attributed to accelerated dehydration of the beta-Ni(OH)(2) phase. In addition, an increase in the Cr(OH)(3) contribution on the alloy surface oxidized at a more oxidative potential suggested a more rapid dissolution of Cr under these conditions; overall, uneven films were formed from these conditions. The composition of the corrosion product formed after an exposure to a highly oxidizing potential was found to be unchanged following a subsequent reaction of equivalent length at a much lower oxidizing potential in basic solution.
