Galvanic Corrosion between Depleted Uranium and 45 Steel

Abstract:

Self-corrosion and galvanic corrosion of depleted uranium and 45 steel were studied by electrochemical analyzing technologies. Corrosion products were analyzed by Energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results showed that, in the 3.5wt.%NaCl solution, DU acted as anode with an accelerated corrosion rate, and 45 steel acted as cathode during the process of galvanic corrosion for DU/45 couple. The galvanic potential and current density of the DU/45 couple were around-770mV and 12.5μA/cm^-2, respectively.
