Results are presented of an investigation to determine the maximum permissible partial pressure of carbon dioxide that could be tolerated in the Maritime Gas Cooled Reactor system without oxidizing and embrittling niobium and its alloys, and to screen the heat-resistant nickel- and iron-base alloys for resistance to oxidation and carburization by hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide. The effect of hydrogen additions on carburization of heatresisting alloys and on the decomposition of carbon monoxide was also studied along with the cataltic effects of heat-resisting alloys on disproportionation of carbon monoxide.
