FLUORIDE-Corrosion Associated with Fluorination in Oak Ridge
False information would suggest that fluorides are not corrosive
but as can be seen by the above, this is not so. This accelerated
corrosion has huge financial implications for the life
expectancy of the metal infrastructure
of our modern civilisation.
