Abstract

Modern procedures have been elaborated taking into account the laboratory findings and developments of the past two decades concerning the factors increasing the solubility of iron oxides in the cleaning agent and conditioning improving the characteristics of the protective layer, both having in mind the present state of corrosion in romanian power energetic plants. The basic reagent formulae consists in citric acid, hydro-chloric acid, ferrous sulfate as dissolution activator and a corrosion inhibitor, operating at T 80-85 degrees C. The removal of thick corrosion deposits is achieved in a basic step-by-step procedure, the number of steps depending on the layer thickness and on the degree of damage of the underlying base metal. After chemical cleaning, a passive magnetic film will be formed under special conditioning of water with long-chained amines.
