“…The chemical compatibility of RAFM steel with solid breeders at the operation temperatures has been studied [4][5][6][7]. Li 2 TiO 3 statically and chemically reacted with Indian RAFM steel (Fe-9.02Cr-1.46W) [4] and RAFM steel ARAA (Fe-9Cr-1.2W) [5], and formed oxide layers.…”

Lithium titanate (Li 2 TiO 3 ) pebble is a candidate tritium breeder of solid breeder blanket systems of fusion reactors. The oscillation of coolant tubes can be induced by the coolant flow. Fretting corrosion is caused between the Li 2 TiO 3 pebbles and the coolant tubes which are made of reduced activation ferritic martensitic steel F82H. The purpose of the present study is to clarify the fretting behaviors at the temperatures of blanket conditions. The Li 2 TiO 3 pebble produced by sol-gel method was pushed onto the surface of the oscillating F82H plate in the fretting tests which were performed for 10 min in an air atmosphere up to 573 K. The fretting scars of the Li 2 TiO 3 pebble and the F82H plate were observed and analyzed by SEM/EDX and 3D laser scanning microscope. The fretting wear was mitigated at the temperatures of 373 K and 473 K due to the formation of the oxide layer, which might reduce the friction. The pebble was partially destructed by the fretting motion in the test performed at 573 K. The fretting wear of the pebble and the F82H plate was mitigated when the pebble was not fixed on the holder since the pebble could vibrate together with the oscillating plate.

“…The occurrence of fretting corrosion is induced by the vibration of coolant tubes which contact with other structures. This phenomenon is widely recognized in the field of nuclear power plants [7]. Fretting studies are being performed to clarify the mechanism and prevent the failure of the reactor components [8].…”

“…superior stress corrosion cracking resistance, and excellent mechanical characteristics at high temperature and in high pressure water. Although many detailed studies have been carried out on fretting fatigue [6][7], corrosion behavior [8][9] and stress corrosion cracking in simulated PWR primary water [10][11][12], they rarely revealed relevant information on fretting wear of Inconel 690 alloy in PWR secondary water. The fretting action possibly results in contact surfaces wear by detachment of particles, and contact fatigue by rapid crack nucleation and propagation, leading to premature catastrophic failures [13].…”

The aim of this paper is to assess the effect of water temperature (room temperature -RT, 60 ℃ and 90 ℃) on fretting wear behavior of 690 alloy tubes against 405 stainless steel plates, and compare it with fretting in dry condition. Due to the lubrication effect, the presence of a thin water film likely precluded the metal-metal contact, and resulted in less wear. During the fretting process, water also washed the wear particles away from the contact zone leading to a decrease of abrasive wear. Consequently, the wear scars showed "U" shape profile along the fretting direction in water, while "W" shape in air.
