Abstract

Background

The selection of disposal canister materials is crucial in the deep geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste

as metal packaging containers serve as the first engineering barrier to isolate the waste. Tin bronze C5191 is one of the most selected canister materials

hence its corrosion behavior is worthy of study.

Purpose

This study aims to investigate the accelerated corrosion mechanisms of tin bronze C5191 under the coupled effects of neutron irradiation and groundwater.

Methods

Used tin bronze C5191 as a potential material for the tin bronze C5191 and the BS03 groundwater in Beishan were used as a simulated fluid

samples were immersed in simulated fluids of varying concentrations under different irradiation conditions for 30 d. Subsequently

scanning electron microscope (SEM) was employed to analyze the micromorphology of the sample surfaces

and the mass loss and corrosion rates were analyzed. On the theoretical side

single adsorption and co-adsorption models of SO

and water irradiation decomposition products on the intact and defective surfaces of CuSn(110) were established. Subsequently

first-principles calculations were employed to compute and analyze the adsorption energy

Bader charge transfer numbers

and projected density of states (PDOS) of the adsorption models. Finally

both experimental and theoretical calculations were combined to elucidate the mechanism of material corrosion acceleration.

Results

The experimental and theoretical calculation results indicate that under varying experimental conditions

the corrosion rate of tin bronze is increased from 0.516 μm·a

-1

to 17.9 μm·a

-1

. The adsorption energies of SO

on the intact and defective CuSn(110) surfaces are -5.311 eV and -5.691 eV

respectively

with Bader charge transfer numbers of -0.327 1 and -0.516 6

suggesting that SO

interacts more readily with the defective surface. When co-adsorbed

the adsorption energy is decreased to -12.391 eV

and the Bader charge transfer numbers is increase

d to -6.063 9 and -6.007 4.

Conclusions

Results of this study demonstrates that the radiolysis products of H

O enhance the adsorption of SO

on metal defect surfaces. The experimental and theoretical results are consistent

demonstrating that the coupling of irradiation and groundwater significantly accelerates the corrosion rate of tin bronze.
