Decarburization of 2-1/4 Cr-1Mo in flowing sodium. [LMFBR]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6477121
The Intermediate System Mock-up Sodium Loop (ISML) was designed to model a bi-metallic (austenitic stainless steel and 2-1/4 Cr-1Mo ferritic steel) LMFBR intermediate heat transport system. This loop has operated for about 11,000 hours with a projected objective to establish the decarburization kinetics for 2-1/4Cr-1Mo and carburization rates for Types 304 and 316 stainless, operative in an intermediate heat transport sodium loop. Alloy 2-1/4 Cr-1Mo prepared by the vacuum arc remelt (VAR) and electroslag remelt (ESR) processes were tested and results obtained for periods up to 7200 hours are reported.
