HALOGEN PASSIVATION STUDIES

Abstract

This progress report covers experimental work accomplished during the period from 1 November 1966 to 31 January 1967. During this time experiments were carried out to define requirements which must be met to remove organic contaminants from metal surfaces during passivation in fluorine. Metal coupons, porous stainless steel discs and glass capillaries were contaminated with various organic materials and exposed to gaseous fluorine and chlorine trifluoride vapor under a variety of conditions simulating typical passivation procedures. The conventional passivation procedures at room temperature and at moderate pressure are ineffective for removal of thin smears of organic contaminants from metal substrates.
