Passive Film Stability in Alloy 22

Lead Institution
Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Donald Baer
Project type
Exploratory Research
This program activity will involve the testing of Haynes Alloy 22 to determine if a build up of S will lead to the breakdown of a possive film. This is among the most stable alloys known and it is…
