Abstract
Abstract A review is made of work leading to the discovery that tetramethylammonium bromide (TMB) is an excellent inhibitor of corrosion of steel by bis (2-chloro-ethyl) sulfide. The nature of the corrosion problem involved is considered for both Levinstein H and distilled H. The search for a stabilizer for Levinstein H is described. Data are reported with no stabilizer, 1 percent hexamine stabilizer and 1 percent TMB stabilizer to show the rate of decomposition of Levinstein H in a 75 mm shell, rate of pressure developed in a 75-mm shell filled with Levinstein H, and rate of pressure development in 75-mm shell filled with distilled H. The rate of loss of liquid filling at 150 F with distilled H filled to 10 percent void in 75-mm shell is reported for no stabilizer, 1 percent hexamine and 0.5 percent TMB. 5.8.2
