Beiträge zur Chemie des Siliciums und Germaniums. XVII. Über die Aufbewahrung von Silanen in Behältern aus Stahl

For the storage of raw silane and silane isomeres isolated by distillation or gaschromatographic separation, 40 Mn 4-steel vessels are proposed. A metallographic analysis of a steel vessel containing silanes over a period of six years shows only a small partiel decarbonization of the material up to a depth of 200–250 μm. Decomposition of the silane was not observed.
