Abstract
This study focuses on non-electric mass transfer between stainless steel 316H (SS316H) and carbon materials in molten NaF-KF-UF4 salt. To simulate the molten-salt flow and accelerate the mass transfer, an SS316H specimen was rotated with a tangential speed of 2 m/s in the molten salt contained in a glassy carbon crucible at 1073 K for 120 h. The concentrations of Cr, Fe, Ni, and Mn in the salt were measured as a function of time during the test. The depletion of Cr was observed near the surface of the post-test SS316H specimen, and Fe-concentrated layers were formed on the specimen. (Cr, Fe)7C3 layers, Cr-metal particles, and dendritic structures concentrated with Fe and Cr were observed on the post-test crucible, indicating the non-electric mass transfer between SS316H and glassy carbon.
