“…but the observation does indicate that titanium can absorb hydrogen under certain conditions in uranyl sulfate solutions 4…”

“…A resume of the results of corrosion tests on some of Because of the need for a satisfactory spring material for present and contemplated HRT usage, such as in the liquid-level controller for the HRT pressurizer, it was considered pertinent to perform some additional experiments with Elgiloy. Elgiloy, a cobalt-base spring alloy,4 was developed by Battelle Memorial Institute for the Elg:in National Watch Company. Previous work showed the alloy to have good corrosion resistance to high-temperature uranyl sulfate solution but that it was highly susceptible to cracking, even in the absence of an applied static stress and Accordingly, tests were run to examine the susceptibility of the alloy in the above condition to cracking in chloride-free uranyl sulfate solution.…”
