Compatibility of ferritic steels in forced circulation lithium and Pb-17Li systems

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5705931
Corrosion data are presented for various ferritic steels in flowing lithium and Pb-17Li environments at temperatures between 371 and 538/sup 0/C. The corrosion behavior is evaluated by measuring the weight loss as a function of time and temperature. The significance of chemical interactions between nitrogen and alloy elements on the corrosion behavior in lithium is discussed. 19 refs., 8 figs., 2 tabs.
