title = "Effect of octadecylamine on carbon steel corrosion under PWR secondary side conditions",
abstract = "Octadecylamine (ODA) is a film forming amine (FFA) that can be used in the secondary side water of pressurized water reactor (PWR) to hinder magnetite depositions and corrosion rates. The effect of ODA on the corrosion rates of carbon steel in PWR secondary side water treated with NH3 was studied as a function of temperature by using in situ and ex situ techniques. As a result, following conclusions can be made: 1. Addition of ODA to the secondary side water treated with NH3 decreases corrosion rate of the studied carbon steel (22K) at T = 228°C by a factor of 3. 2. ODA addition has the same effect on the corrosion rate whether it has been added at the beginning of the exposure (fresh surface) or after a period of pre-oxidation of the carbon steel surface during which a stable magnetite film was grown. This indicates that ODA would effectively slow down also the corrosion of carbon steel at locations where flow assisted corrosion (FAC) takes place. 3. The effect of ODA on the corrosion rates of studied carbon steel seems to diminish as temperature is decreased from 228°C to room temperature.",
