Aluminium-alloyed austenitic steels Fe-14Cr-2Mn-20Ni-0.5Cu-3Al and Fe-14Cr-5Mn-12Ni-3Cu-2.5Al were tested at 500 °C in static Pb-Bi eutectic for 10,000 h. The concentration of oxygen the liquid metal was changed a controlled way over course test from ∼10−6 to ∼10−9 mass% which provided conditions oxidation dissolution, respectively. Both showed slight surface. Steel with higher Ni content revealed also initiation dissolution corrosion view rare pit-type damages. structural compositional...
Specimens produced from technically pure iron and two different heats of ferritic/martensitic steel T91 are investigated after exposure to oxygen-containing flowing lead–bismuth eutectic (LBE) at 400 °C, 10−7 mass% dissolved oxygen, flow velocity 2 m/s, for times between around 1000 13,000 h. The occurring phenomena analyzed quantified using metallographic cross sections prepared exposure. While mostly shows solution underneath or in the absence a detached buckled oxide scale, occurs only...
In this work, corrosion experiments on 9Cr-ODS and CLAM steels were carried out in static Pb-Li at 873 K for 250 h. Both showed weight loss softening near the surface after exposure. Tensile properties did not change creep degraded slightly steel. contrast, steel hardening by increase tensile strength rupture time, decrease minimum rate reduction of area. The metallurgical analyses that both non-uniformly corroded preferential grain sub-grain boundaries. Near surface, carbides lost Cr was...
Corrosion behavior of 9%Cr F/M P92, E911, and EUROFER steels was investigated in flowing (2 m/s) Pb–Bi with 10−7 mass % O at 450 550 °C for up to 8766 2011 h, respectively. The show mixed corrosion modes simultaneously revealing protective scale formation, accelerated oxidation, solution-based attack. At °C, the oxidation resulted a metal recession averaging 6 μm (± 2 μm) after ∼ while local attack ranged from ∼40 350 μm. about 10 h. Solution-based appears more regularly maximum depth ∼90...
