Mass transfer in liquid metal systems occurs by thermal gradient transfer or isothermal transfer. In liquidmetal systems having a temperature dffferential, mass transfer of the container material may result in failure of the hot limb component or stoppage of the flow because of precipitmtion in the cold limb. Experimentally this transfer may be studied in thermal or forced convection conditions. The basic steps of the transfer process are solution of the container components and precipitation at the cold llmb. The kinetics of dissolution and the parameters influencing it have been studied and the results are reviewed. Less is known about the kinetics of the second process. (J.S.R.)
