Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for preventing a radioactive substances enriched oxide layer on a Surface of stainless steel and / or of a nickel alloy.
  • the steel or the nickel alloy are of the type, for example Incoloy 800, Inconel 600 or the like.
  • An application of the The process can be done in nuclear technology for reduction the later activity (contamination) of components the primary circuit of water-cooled nuclear power plants a new installation or after decontamination.
  • the surface of the steel be by means of Peroxide or by means of a water-peroxide mixture or with peroxide solution at a temperature of max. 180 ° C is treated, with an at least 20 nm thick oxide layer is produced.
  • per peroxide also stands for one Water-peroxide mixture or a peroxide solution. In place of hydrogen peroxide can always occur “peroxide” and vice versa.
  • the treatment takes place e.g. under water, e.g. thereby, that hydrogen peroxide is added to the water.
  • water e.g. thereby, that hydrogen peroxide is added to the water.
  • surface treatment of stainless steel and / or nickel alloys, e.g. Incoloy type 800, Inconel 600, and the like, particularly in steam generators used by pressurized water reactors before that the surface to be treated initially with the usual Techniques such as chemical treatment is cleaned and degreased.
  • the real deal can with a peroxide solution with a peroxide concentration of 0.1 up to 200 mmol H202 in e.g. pure or deionized water.
  • This treatment can be in an open or closed System.
  • concentrations are higher than 10 mmol H202 not used but can still be used but bring no significant advantages in the sense of the invention more, because excess hydrogen peroxide quickly becomes thermal and is catalytically decomposed, i.e. for the target Layer formation remains ineffective.
  • the peroxide solution is e.g. a solution of peroxide in pure or deionized water.
  • the method is used for the treatment of in water-cooled Nuclear power plants wet surfaces which are used for mostly stainless steel and / or nickel alloys, e.g. of type
  • Incoloy 800, Inconel 600, or the like which are special are used in steam generators of pressurized water reactors, and which in the past due to cantamination have led to the problems mentioned at the beginning.
  • the layer created using hydrogen peroxide differs fundamentally different in their composition and structure atmospheric or formed only with hot water. While at atmospheric oxidation mainly chromium-rich oxide layers and predominantly in hot water without hydrogen peroxide Nickel spinels are formed with hydrogen peroxide almost pure iron III oxides. Oxide layers without Hydrogen peroxide provides little or no protection further oxidation in hot water / steam (the spinel layers continue to form) while layers covered by hydrogen peroxide were formed, are very stable and in particular when used later under the conditions of the prima circle of a nuclear power plant not allow spinel formation.
  • An advantage of the present invention is that the Parts that have surfaces to be treated, either can be expanded or treated separately.
  • Systems like Containers, pipes, pumps, can also be built in Condition to be treated by being on your water Be coated on the inside.
  • Another advantage of treating steel with hydrogen peroxide is that the surface treatment of the steel can be checked visually by changing the color. As a result of interference, the process is colored surface of deep gold treated according to the invention to dark blue-violet. Basically there are all spectral colors, depending on the layer thickness and the type of Light reflection.
  • the coloration of stainless steel is over not known in the prior art. So that's the procedure according to the invention also generally suitable for coloring stainless steel or nickel alloys by cleaning the Surface e.g. treated with peroxide under water becomes.
  • the coloring is not only interesting in connection with the specified uses of the method in nuclear technology, but also in non-nuclear areas.
  • Suitable layer thicknesses are those from approx. 20 nm to approx. 300 nm or between approx. 0.02 to approx. 0.3 ⁇ m. Such Layer thickness is e.g. with a treatment time between 10h and achieved 300h.
  • the pre-oxidation with hydrogen peroxide takes place in the Way that the coating at below-100 ° C in an open or closed container, or at temperatures above 100 ° C in a closed container.
  • coated Systems e.g. in nuclear technology
  • the latter is the Case when the systems, tanks, piping, pumps etc. to be coated on the inside exposed to water are, for example, in cooling systems in nuclear power plants the case is.
  • the procedure is as follows:
  • the container or the systems are filled with pure water or deionized water.
  • the pure water is preferably circulated or metered in continuously.
  • the water is brought to the desired treatment temperature and maintained by suitable devices.
  • a dilute solution of hydrogen peroxide is metered in, so that the desired concentration of hydrogen peroxide can be maintained at all times.
  • effective ventilation is expediently applied in order to remove the oxygen gas which is formed during the thermal and catalytic decomposition of excess hydrogen peroxide and to avoid a gas cushion. which could prevent the complete coating of the systems / containers.
  • Example 1 Open container (depressurized) temperature ⁇ 100 ° C print atmospheric concentration 0.1 to 100 mmol H 2 O 2 * water speed 0 to ⁇ 10 m / s treatment time 10 to ⁇ 300 h
  • Example 2 Closed container or system temperature > 100 ° C print > 1 bar, depending on the temperature, so that no steam cushion is created, respectively. the system remains completely filled with pressurized water.
  • the present invention proposes a method for the surface treatment of steel, such as in particular stainless steel, as well as nickel alloys, e.g. of type Incoloy 800, Inconel 600, and similar ones, particularly as in Steam generators from pressurized water reactors are used before, treatment with peroxide or a water-peroxide mixture or solution. It depends that a protective layer on the treated surface Oxide is formed.
  • the surface can be the surface of a Container, a pipeline, a pump, etc. at Boiling water reactors could e.g. also the feed water preheaters be treated using the method mentioned here, to prevent corrosion products from entering the reactor reduce.
