chemical processing industry due to their resistance to corrosion, acid, abrasive wear, heat and their high_x000D_
surface hardness. Because boron has a high neutron absorption cross section, there is a potential to expand the_x000D_
use of boronized steel to nuclear industry applications, such as corrosion-resistant radiation shielding materials._x000D_
In these applications the corrosion behaviour of these materials when exposed to ionizing radiation needs to be_x000D_
understood. However, no data on radiolysis-induced corrosion of boronized steel is available._x000D_
This project explores the impact of gamma radiolysis water as a function of solution pH on the corrosion_x000D_
dynamics of boronized steel. The data obtained from this analysis will provide information that can be used to_x000D_
assess the potential for expanding the use of boronized steels to nuclear industry applications., program purpose french : Boronized steels are widely used in oil and gas production, power generation, and the petrochemical and_x000D_
