HALOGEN PASSIVATION PROCEDURAL GUIDE

Abstract

The general reaction behavior of fluorine and halogens with metal surfaces and contaminants, and cleaning and passivation procedures for systems and components using fluorine-containing oxidizers are outlined. A test conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the cleaning and passivation procedure applied to a valve assembly is described. The experimental details have been included in the five appendices. These cover: (1) reaction of fluorine system contaminants, (2) impact sensitivity of organic residues left from passivation, (3) corrosive behavior of passivated metal surfaces, (4) gases absorbed on passivated surfaces, and (5) mechanical stability of passivation fluoride films.
