Korrosionsuntersuchungen an drei Stählen und einer Nickellegierung in Mono- und Trichloressigsäure

Investigations Into the Corrosion of Three Steels and one Nickel Alloy in Mono- and Trichloroacetic Acid The corrosion resistance of three steels and one nickel alloy was investigated in aqueous and nonaqueous monochloroacetic acid and in nonaqueous trichloroacetic acid at various temperatures. There is no difference in the corrosion behaviour of the steels whereas the resistance of the nickel alloy is better in all cases by a factor 10. In aqueous monochloroacetic acid the corrosion attack is due to the hydrolytic formation of hydrochloric acid. Nonaqueous monochloroacetic acid behaves more corrosive than nonaqueous trichloroacetic acid.
