Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study is directed at investigating the rate of corrosion and its spatial distribution that develop under conditions where transport of oxygen and conductivity of the environment are controlled over a wide range, including low conductivity as expected in the Yucca Mountain environment. The results indicate that the corrosion rate of steel is directly related to the rate of oxygen transport over several orders of magnitude, and increasing conductivity by one order of magnitude increases corrosion rate by a factor of two or three. Of greater significance is the result that indicates that as conductivity of the environment decreases, and corrosion rate decreases, the degree of localized attack increases.
