“…The 316L material was chosen as a control sample for the tests conducted. There is a wide range of available data for the LBE corrosion at temperatures up to 750°C [20,33,34]; however this is the first time that 800°C tests have been reported. Based on our acquired experience, the solution that will prevent the repeated restarting will be to employ a different conductive material, not soluble in LBE, which will be used as a bridge between the oxygen sensor's Pt wire and the LBE at the point of contact between the electrode and the LBE.…”

The corrosion behavior of three stainless steels (316L, Alkrothal 720 and Kanthal-APM) in static LBE with oxygen concentration of 10-5 wt% at temperatures of 700°C for 230 hours and 800°C for 360 hours was studied. The steel surface morphology of the oxide scales formed was investigated by SEM, XRD and Raman spectroscopy and the cross-section and by SEM and EDX. A transitional inner-layer of Fe-Cr-Al oxides was found at the substrate interface and an Al-oxide outer layer on the Fe-Cr-Al alloys. Fast growing non-protective oxide scale with underlying dissolution was observed on the 316L alloy.
