Abstract
The fission product element tellurium in fourth-generation molten salt reactors is the primary cause of cracking in nickel-based high-temperature alloy components. This paper reports the emergence and origin of magnetism in the tellurium-infiltrated Inconel 718. The source of magnetism is identified through first-principles calculations. The accuracy of the theoretical calculations is confirmed by comparative magnetic attraction experiments. It indicates that the primary source of magnetism after tellurium infiltration is the generation of Cr3Te4 but not NiNbTe2. The magnetism generated by Cr3Te4 provides an additional driving force for their clustering distribution. This study facilitates the understanding of the mechanisms behind crack formation in nickel-based alloy components and potential solutions.
