Abstract

We present the first study of the effect of acetohydroxamic acid (AHA) on the corrosion behaviour of stainless steels. Particularly, studies have been performed using steels and physico-chemical conditions equivalent to those proposed for use in advanced nuclear reprocessing platforms. In these, AHA has been shown to have little effect on either steel passivation or reductive dissolution of both SS304L and SS316L. However, under transpassive dissolution conditions, AHA while in part electrochemically oxidised to acetic acid and nitroxyl/hydroxylamine, also complexes with Fe3 +, inhibiting secondary passivation and driving transpassive dissolution of both steels.
