Influence of Area Ratio and Chloride Concentration on the Galvanic Coupling of Copper and Carbon Steel
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Carbon steel (CS) vessels coated with ∼3 mm of Cu have been proposed for the permanent disposal of used nuclear fuel in a deep geological repository (DGR) in Canada. In the event of an undetected defect in the Cu coating that exposes the underlying CS to groundwater, the possibility of galvanically accelerated corrosion of CS arises. In this work, the impact of O2 availability, NaCl solution concentration, and cathode:anode area ratio on the galvanic corrosion behavior of Cu/CS couples was evaluated by monitoring the galvanic potential of the couple and the galvanic current passing between Cu and CS. The corrosion products and surface damage were analyzed using Raman spectroscopy and SEM/EDX. Varying the Cu:CS area ratio from 1:1 to 2500:1, the [Cl−] from 0.001 to 3.0 M, the sparging gas from air to Ar, and monitoring the resulting changes in the galvanic current, galvanic potential, corrosion products, and surface damage showed that the galvanic corrosion of CS was most severe when it was exposed to air-sparged solution with a moderate [Cl−] (0.1 M) as part of the couple with the largest Cu:CS area ratio.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
