Abstract

To address the considerable interest in LiF-BeF₂ (FLiBe) compatibility for fission and fusion reactor applications, static and flowing compatibility experiments were conducted to assess the compatibility with type 316H stainless steel. In static testing at 550° and 650 °C, small mass changes were measured and posttest characterization of the FLiBe showed increased levels of Fe, Cr, Ni and Mn in the salt. Adding Be in the static salt test reduced the dissolution of Fe and Ni. An initial assessment of mass transfer in flowing FLiBe without a Be addition was conducted using a monometallic 316H thermal convection loop (TCL) operated for 1000 h with a peak temperature of 650 °C. Similar to prior results in flowing FLiNaK salt, the 316H specimens exhibited small mass losses in the hot leg. Posttest characterization of the 316H specimens suggested Cr surface depletion in the hot and cold legs and possibly Fe deposition in the cold leg. To further understand this behavior, Cr and Fe dissolution was measured in static FLiBe at 550–650 °C.

期刊介绍： Oxidation of Metals is the premier source for the rapid dissemination of current research on all aspects of the science of gas-solid reactions at temperatures greater than about 400˚C, with primary focus on the high-temperature corrosion of bulk and coated systems. This authoritative bi-monthly publishes original scientific papers on kinetics, mechanisms, studies of scales from structural and morphological viewpoints, transport properties in scales, phase-boundary reactions, and much more. Articles may discuss both theoretical and experimental work related to gas-solid reactions at the surface or near-surface of a material exposed to elevated temperatures, including reactions with oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, carbon and halogens. In addition, Oxidation of Metals publishes the results of frontier research concerned with deposit-induced attack. Review papers and short technical notes are encouraged.
