NOTES ON THE BEHAVIOR OF CARBON-STEEL IN MELTED LITHIUM AT DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES (in Italian)
The behavior of a plain carbon steel in contact with molten lithium at temperatures from 700 to 1000 deg C during various periods is considered. The following two facts are emphasized: the existence of a critical temperature at which the phenomenon of intergranular penetration and attack is particularly intense; considerable increase in the size of ferritic grains after the selective removal of pearlitic carbon by molten lithium, at temperatures ranging from 750 to 900 deg C. Furthermore, the possibility is envisaged of using lithium as a reagent suitable for evidencing some aspects of re-crystallization. This is in connection with the property shown by lithium of visualizing the defective state at the boundaries of grains and inside of the same. (auth)
