Description

The SEM observation showed that even in the case of reference samples the chemical interaction between the matrix and LBE took place. In both cases, reference samples and low temperature irradiation, the influence of LBE seems to be more significant for 316L steel in comparison with T91 steel. In the case of high temperature irradiation (500 grad C) up to 2.4 dpa the interaction between LBE and steel is more advanced. The T91 steel reveal porous surface of the matrix and completed wetting almost along whole surface of the sample. The 316L sample showed on same interaction places complete wetting and on some mixture of steel with LBE. Both kinds of steels showed small cracks filled by LBE at the interface whilst they occurrence is higher for T91 steel. The EDS/WDS measurements did not reveal any trends of elements depletion close to the interface steel/LBE, only the variation in the concentration of Cr and Fe content were observed. (authors)
