I think you have to have oxigen present for it to be corrosive. Can't they vacuum it?

- ortusdux 6y ago"Corrosion is a natural process that converts a refined metal into a more chemically stable form". Oxidation is the most well known form of corrosion, but there are many other corrosive reactions out there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfide#Corrosion_induced_by_sulfide https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfide#Corrosion_induced_by_s...
- sandworm101 6y agoFrom an engineering standpoint any chemical reaction that changes the properties of a metal in an unwanted way will be called corrosion. It is something to prevent and/or monitor that will inevitably shorten the lifespan of the metal part. (Non-metals like fiberglass can also "corrode".)
- ta988 6y agoYou need an oxydizer whatever it is. Oxygen is only one oxidizer. Chlorine, fluorine and the other halogens are oxidizers too.
- andreareina 6y agoIIRC fluorine is/can be a more potent oxidiser than oxygen.
- 08-15 6y agoFluoride (with a 'd') is not fluorine (with a 'n'). The difference is as big as that between sodium and sodium chloride. You can eat one, but not the other. The most powerful oxidizer in MSR fuel salt is the U(IV) ion.
