Corrosion–erosion test of SS316 in flowing Pb–Bi

Mass transfer of iron impurities in LBE loops under non-isothermal flow conditions

“…At 600°C maximum temperature and the same temperature difference, a rate of 9 mm/a is estimated [9]. Moreover, 0.1 mm maximum corrosion depth corresponding to 292 lm/a is estimated for such a steel after 3000 h at 450°C maximum and 400°C minimum temperature, respectively in saturated oxygen (3.2 wppm) and 1 m/s flow [11]. Apparently, the predicted maximum dissolution of 180 lm/a is a reasonable estimate for the parameters used.…”

“…Component clogging and plugging may occur as a result of solute precipitation likely in a non-isothermal regime. Long-term corrosion data acquired in loop tests [8,[10][11][12][13][14][15] are an absolute necessity for real ADS but are so far scarce. Modeling seems thus an attractive option.…”

Lead-Bismuth Eutectic Compatibility with Materials in the Concept of Spallation Target for ADS

“…As a result of the quantitative analysis of deposit crystal by X-rays, Fe and Cr were detected and the weight concentration ratio was roughly Fe: Cr=9:1. Nickel was not found in the polycrystals (8) . They were precipitations from Pb-Bi including impurities dissolved from SUS316 at the high temperature part.…”

Corrosion/precipitation in non-isothermal and multi-modular LBE loop systems

“…Since there is no oxide layer reported [22], it is assumed that the corrosion process is due to dissolution. To estimate corrosion/precipitation rate in the JLBL-1, the kinematic viscosity t of LBE and the corrosion product diffusion coefficient D of the iron in LBE are chosen as t ¼ 1:5 Â 10 À7 m 2 /s estimated from Davis and Shieh [23] and D Fe!Pb-Bi ¼ 10 À9 m 2 /s estimated from Ref.…”
