The effect of microstructure on tribocorrosion properties of nickel alloys

With the newly achieved knowledge on the tribocorrosion field, the knowledge transfer was enabled from research institution onto Uniersity level. High quality diploma work will enable to widen the program of corrsoion and electrochemistry at for university students as well as post graduate students.

Project task: Evaluation of damages on pipelines

In the project corrosion damages observed on pressuriser in NEK (Nuclear Power Plant Krško) were inspected, analyzed and evaluated. Complex metallographic and microscopic studies were realized on received specimens. Additionally, electrochemical research on selected materials was performed. In the results the influences and parameters for inspected corrosion damages and the ways of intimation and growth are described. On the basis of electrochemical measurements performed on selected materials the susceptibility of those materials to corrosion in selected environment was estimated.

Durability of materials i drinking water systems in buildings

Corrosion inspection experiences have led to the need to inform public for the need to use know-how and knowledge in the applied field:drinking water system. The lack of corrosion knowledge in the field highly affects people's health and quality of living. Materialčs used in drinking water system are usually not appropriate according to disinfection procedures. The awareness of the collaboration of scientific laboratories, Goverment and health system is emphasized.

Applicative project Corrosion of copper in bentonite

Applied project is research project on spent nuclear fuel nuclear waste management for disposal in Sweden. Corrosion of copper has been followed by the use of copper electrical resistance sensors that were placed in bentonite for 3 years and a half. Oxic conditions were confirmed by continuous monitoring. Different measurement techniques were applied: thickness measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Both measurements showed the decreasing corrosion rate of copper ER sensors. After exposure the corrosion rates estimated by EIS are 0.4-0.7 micro M/year and around 1 micoM/year with thickness measurement.
