The effect of ionizing radiation on the corrosion behavior of metals in carbon tetrachloride

  • Published:
The Soviet Journal of Atomic Energy Aims and scope

Abstract

It has been found that ionizing radiation considerably intensifies the corrosion of a number of metals in moist CCl4. The intensification of the corrosion process is due to the presence of hydrochloric acid and oxidizing agents — energetic cathodic depolarizers, forming during the radiolysis of moist CCl4.

Increasing the amount of moisture above its solubility limits in CCl4 leads to a weakening of the corrosion process because of the diffusion of Cl− into the aqueous phase.

A detailed study has been made of the mechanism of formation of HCl in the studied system under irradiation and the effect of the composition of the atmosphere on the corrosion process.
