Description

The present study was undertaken in an attempt to learn more about the characteristics of lithium corrosion. Part one of this report deals with a metallographic evaluation of the Type 304 Stainless Steel one-inch tubing, used for the main loop containment, and gives a detailed account of hot leg and cold leg corrosion. An examination of the dump tank was also conducted in order to determine why lithium was apparently creeping from the tank during loop operation and forming a plug in the cover gas line. Part two is a detailed chemical evaluation of the hot trap and the cold trap, performed in order to gain some measure of component design, trap efficiency and the migration of corroding species
