Influence of temperature and lithium purity on corrosion of ferrous alloys in a flowing lithium environment

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5851769
Corrosion data have been obtained on ferritic HT-9 and Fe-9Cr-1Mo steel and austenitic Type 316 stainless steel in a flowing lithium environment at temperatures between 372 and 538/sup 0/C. The corrosion behavior is evaluated by measurements of weight loss as a function of time and temperature. A metallographic characterization of materials exposed to a flowing lithium environment is presented.
