ACTION OF SODIUM CITRATE AND SODIUM BORATE ON THE POLARIZATION CHARACTERISTICS OF A URANIUM-STEEL COUPLE

Abstract

The action of sodium citrate and sodium borate in aqueous media on the polarization characteristics of uranium and steel was studied. The effect of citrate and borate concentration on these polarization characteristics was also studied. Steady-state corrosion currents developed by the uranium-steel couple were measured using zero-resistance ammeter circuitry, and polarization measurements were made using galvanostatic techniques. Sodium citrate and sodium borate were classified as either accelerator or inhibitor, dependent upon concentration.
