This research program consists of two parts: an evaluation of the corrosion behavior of ferrous alloys in liquid lithium, and a study of microstructure development and properties of dissimilar metal weldments. A ten year overview of the research accomplishments made is presented. During this past year, two programs on the effects of liquid lithium on fatigue crack growth were completed. Results on both 2 1/4 Cr-1Mo steel and Type 304 stainless steel clarified the importance of initial microstructure on the degree of fatigue crack growth rate enhancement in liquid lithium. Experimental results on Fe-Mn-Ni-Cr, Fe-Mn-Al, Fe-Mn-Ni-Cu-C welds are included and a thermodynamic analysis for predicting microstructures formed during welding is reported.
