Environmental effects on properties of structural alloys
Description
Compatibility tests were conducted with several candidate structural materials to study the corrosion behavior in flowing lithium, and fatigue tests were performed with HT-9 alloy specimens that were preexposed to lithium. The results indicate that the corrosion rate of ferritic steels is an order of magnitude lower than for the austenitic stainless steel. The corrosion rate for cold-worked Type 316 stainless steel is a factor of 3 greater than that for the annealed steel. Preexposed (1100 h) of the HT-9 alloy to low-nitrogen lithium has no effect on fatigue life. Preliminary scoping studies indicate that V-15Cr and V-15Cr-5Ti alloys are highly corrosion resistant in 5230K (2500C) deoxygenated water
