There is some possibility that the corrosion resistance of overpack welds is different from that of base metal due to the differences of material properties. In this study, corrosion behavior of welded joint for carbon steel was compared with base metal using the specimens taken from welded joint model fabricated by TIG, MAG and EBW respectively. The corrosion tests were performed for following four items. (1) Passivation behavior and corrosion type, (2) Propagation of general corrosion, pitting corrosion and crevice corrosion under aerobic condition, (3) Stress corrosion cracking susceptibility, (4) Propagation of general corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement under anaerobic condition. The results of these corrosion tests indicated that the corrosion resistance of welded metal by TIG and MAG was inferior to base metal for general corrosion, pitting corrosion and crevice corrosion. It was implied that the filler materials used for welding affected the corrosion resistance. No deterioration of corrosion resistance was observed in any corrosion modes for EBW, which does not need filler material. The susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking of welded metal and heat affected zone was lower than that of base metal.

The corrosion experiments for welded carbon steel were planed to contribute to an assessment of long-term integrity of carbon steel overpack welds considering corrosion damage specific to overpack welds. Based on this plan, electrochemical tests for welded carbon steel using the samples welded by EBW and TIG were carried out, and the corrosion behavior of welded zone was compared with that of base metal. The results of anodic polarization tests in 0.01M and 0.1M carbonate aqueous solutions for base metal, heat affected zone and welded metal indicated that; -As for EBW, the anodic polarization curves were not affected by welding although the metallurgical structures vary with base metal, heat affected zone and welded metal. -As for TIG, the current density of welded metal was larger than that of base metal and of heat affected zone, and local dissolution with immediate increase in current density was observed in 0.01M-pH10 carbonate aqueous solution.

The slow strain rate tests(SSRT) of carbon steel were performed in sodium carbonate-sodium-bicarbonate aqueous solution to acquire knowlwdges regarding susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking of welded joint of carbon steel overpack for high-level radioiactive waste disposal. The specimens were taken from thick cylindrical sample welded by TIG and EBW, and then SSRT tests were applied to the each of specimens of base metal, heat affected zone and welded metal. Based on the results, the susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking of welded joint of carbon steel overpack was evaluated.

In Japan, carbon steel is one of the candidate materials for the disposal container (overpack) for high-level radioactive waste (HLW). Overpack seals vitrified waste and is required to isolate it from contact with groundwater for 1,000 years in Japan's waste management program. After overpack is placed in a deep underground repository, it is presumed that it will be exposed to environmental conditions which include lithospheric pressure from bedrock, hydrostatic pressure from groundwater and swelling pressure of the buffer material as mechanical forces and contact with groundwater as chemical conditions that may induce corrosion. Therefore, the wall thickness of overpack is designed with consideration for mechanical strength and corrosion property so that it can maintain its integrity for 1000 years. On the other hand, the overpack is enclosed by welding. With regard to the assessment of the applicability of welding techniques to the overpack, it is important to confirm the long-term integrity of the weld joint from the aspects of mechanical strength and corrosion property, too. In this study, the corrosion behavior of weld joints, which were provided by TIG (GTAW), MAG (GMAW) and EBW (Electron Beam Welding), was investigated by immersion tests under the aerobic conditions considering environment at the early stage of the repository.
