A research program is being conducted on the effects of sodium and contaminants at 1200 and 1100 deg F on the mechanical properties of Type 316 stainless steel and 2 1/4 Cr-- 1 Mo carbon steel, as compared to air and helium. Tests 1 and 2 were completed, and the final creep rates for 316 stainless steel and carbon steel in sodium containing 30 ppm O/sub 2/ are plotted. The shakedown operation phase of Test 3 (stainless steel in high-carbon sodium) is in progress. The results of some fatigue and creeprupture runs in Test 4 (2 1/4 Cr--1 Mo carbon steel in highoxygen sodium) indicate about the same fatigue life as in low- oxygen sodium and helium, and a slightly shorter creep-rupture life.
