Abstract
In the fusion reactor advanced blanket concepts, considerable attention has always been directed towards the materials employed for the coolants/breeders because the blanket components will be exposed to a harsh environment, including neutron/gamma-ray irradiation and high-temperature tritium breeders. Multifunctional ceramic coatings have been studied to reduce hydrogen isotope permeation, electrical conductivity, and corrosion of structural materials. For the sustainable development of a liquid blanket system, the coatings require not only permeation reduction but also resistance to irradiation damage, which is invisible, accumulative, and can be able to unexpected failure within a short period. In this study, the synergistic corrosion mechanisms of Li-Pb compatibility for the blanket materials were investigated through Li-Pb exposure tests under gamma-ray irradiation. A liquid-phase method and a hot-isostatic pressing were applied for the formation of ceramic-iron joint coatings on the inner wall of a steel tube. In static and flowing Li-Pb exposure tests under gamma-ray irradiation, the joint coatings and multi-layer coatings indicated superior corrosion resistance.
