Abstract

The interactive corrosion between stainless steel 316 (SS) and International Simple Glass (ISG) has been studied for 12 months. The samples were placed in intimate contact to create crevice corrosion conditions on SS in a 0.6 M NaCl solution with and without 142 ppm dissolved silica species enriched in 29Si. Corrosion on SS was observed with large pits located close to the crevice mouth at the end of 1 year in 0.6 M NaCl solution. The SS corrosion was also associated with the dissolution of nearby glass in a highly localized manner. When the leaching solution was saturated with silica species, the corrosion rate of SS was suppressed. However, the presence of SS enhances ISG dissolution in both conditions. The implications of the observed phenomena on the long-term storage of nuclear waste are discussed.
