Summary of Test Method4.1 For the vapor hydration tests, glass or glass ceramicspec

18、imens (referred to generally as glass samples in this testmethod) are suspended from a support rod inside the test vesselwith platinum wire. A volume of water determined by thevolume of the test vessel and the test temperature is added tothe vessel. The vessel is then sealed and placed in an oven at

19、the desired test temperature and left undisturbed. After thedesired test duration, the vessel is removed from the oven andthe bottom of the vessel is cooled to condense the vapor in thevessel. Specimens are removed and examined with opticalmicroscopy, XRD, SEM, and other analytical methods. Theremai

20、ning glass or glass ceramic thickness is measured andalteration phases are identified.5. Significance and Use5.1 The vapor hydration test can be used to study thecorrosion of glass and glass ceramic waste forms underconditions of high temperature and contact by water vapor orthin films of water. Thi

21、s method may serve as an acceleratedtest for some materials, since the high temperatures willaccelerate thermally activated processes. A wide range of testtemperatures have been reported in the literature 40C (Ebertet al, 2005 (3), for example) to 300C (Vienna et al, 2001 (4),for example). It should

22、 be noted that with increased testtemperature comes the possibility of changing the corrosionrate determining mechanism and the types of phases formedupon alteration from those that occur in the disposal environ-ment (Vienna et al, 2001 (4).5.2 The vapor hydration test can be used as a screening tes

Hazards8.1 All appropriate precautions for operation of pressurizedequipment must be taken. To ensure safe operation, the testvessels should be rated to withstand the vapor pressure of wate

32、rat the test temperature with an appropriate safety factor.9. Specimen Preparation9.1 Glass or glass ceramic specimens are prepared fromannealed bars (for example, anneal 2 hours at a temperatureslightly above the glass transition temperature with subsequent5Series 4701-14 22 mL Vessels from Parr In

34、is important to use lowcutting force and saw speed (dependent on sample). Roughsurface and damaged edges of the samples indicate roughmachining. This may cause cracks to form within the glass orglass ceramic specimen during the sample preparation anddecrease the reproducibility of the test. Preparat

35、ion of thespecimen may vary according to the equipment used. Usuallyspecimens are prepared slightly larger and subsequently pol-ished to the desired dimensions. However, with certain types ofdiamond impregnated saws, it is possible to prepare specimenswith the desired dimensions and polish the surfa

36、ce directlywith 600 grit SiC paper. The details of one example ofpreparation technique are given below. These steps (9.1.1-9.1.5) are only given as an example and can be adjusted toyield the desired specimen dimensions and surface finish.9.1.1 Cut annealed glass or glass ceramic bars with adiamond-i
