Corrosion of nuclear materials, i.e. the interaction between these materials and their environments, is a major issue for plant safety as well as for operation and economic competitiveness. Understanding these corrosion mechanisms, the systems and materials they affect, and the methods to accurately measure their incidence is of critical importance to the nuclear industry. Combining assessment techniques and analytical models into this understanding allows operators to predict the service life of corrosion-affected nuclear plant materials, and to apply the most appropriate maintenance and miti

Copper and aluminium alloys are widely used in marine engineering in areas such as pipelines, storage tanks, ships' hulls and cladding for offshore structures. This important book reviews key factors affecting the corrosion and service life of these materials in the marine environment. The book is divided into five parts, with part one reviewing key aspects of the corrosion behaviour of both these alloys. Part two discusses the use of copper and copper-nickel alloys in seawater, whilst Parts 3 and 4 cover aluminium bronzes and alloys. The final section of the book covers the use of aluminium-based materials as anodes for the cathodic protection of marine structures. Corrosion behaviour and protection of copper and aluminium alloys in seawater is an important reference for marine engineers concerned with the corrosion and service life of these materials. Reviews key factors affecting the corrosion and service life of copper and aluminium alloysDiscusses the use of the alloys in seawater.

Stress Corrosion Cracking of Nickel Based Alloys in Water-Cooled Nuclear Reactors: The Coriou Effect presents the latest information on brittle failure of metals in corrosive chemical environments under the influence of tensile stresses. Nickel alloys are more resistant to SCC as well as high temperatures and have been widely used in more challenging environments such as nuclear power plants. However, these alloys can suffer SCC under certain conditions, resulting in component failure. A key figure in understanding the mechanisms of SCC in nickel alloys in water-cooled nuclear reactors is Henri Coriou of the CEA, France's leading center for nuclear research. This book assesses his work in the context of the latest research on SCC in nickel alloys in nuclear power plants. Up-to-date reviews of recent research findings from leading experts in the field Authoritative and comprehensively reviewed by the Working Party 4 on Nuclear CorrosionShowcases the excellent quality and technical accomplishments of Henri Coriou and CEA.

Pourquoi doit-on régulièrement nettoyer ses boules de pétanque ? Pourquoi les coques et hélices de bateaux sont souvent équipées de petites plaques métalliques ? Pourquoi conseille-t-on aux cuisiniers d’attendre que l’eau soit chaude pour ajouter le sel pour la cuisson des aliments ? La corrosion est tout autour de nous, elle est présente dans nos cuisines, dans notre jardin, durant nos loisirs et nos vacances en bord de mer, et même dans notre corps ! Cet ouvrage a pour objectif de vous expliquer de façon ludique et originale pourquoi le fer rouille et comment on fait pour le protéger. Valérie L’Hostis et Damien Féron sont ingénieurs-chercheurs au Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives où ils développent les connaissances et les technologies pour comprendre, prédire, et limiter les phénomènes de corrosion dans des environnements industriels ou naturels. Bien connus au niveau national et international, ils sont auteurs ou coauteurs de nombreux articles et ouvrages scientifiques et techniques.

There has long been a need for effective methods of measuring corrosion within light water nuclear reactors. This important volume discusses key issues surrounding the development of high temperature reference electrodes and other electrochemical techniques. The book is divided into three parts with part one reviewing the latest developments in the use of reference electrode technology in both pressurised water and boiling water reactors. Parts two and three cover different types of corrosion and tribocorrosion and ways they can be measured using such techniques as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Topics covered across the book include in-pile testing, modelling techniques and the tribocorrosion behaviour of stainless steel under reactor conditions. Electrochemistry in light water reactors is a valuable reference for all those concerned with corrosion problems in this key technology for the power industry. Discusses key issues surrounding the development of high temperature reference eletrodesA valuable reference for all concerned with corrosion problems in this key technology.
