Investigation of Early Corrosion Behavior of Canister Candidate Materials in Oxic Groundwater by the EQCM Method by Gha-Young Kim, Sung-Wook Kim, Junhyuk Jang, Seok Yoon, Jin-Seop Kim

“…This study investigated the corrosion mass changes of canister candidate materials (Cu, Ni, Ti, SS304) in an oxic groundwater solution using the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance method in order to estimate corrosion thickness. The materials were immersed in naturally aerated groundwater with and without the addition of chloride ions to observe the mass changes as well as the open-circuit potential (corrosion potential). …”
