Description

The compatibility of AISI 316 L stainless steel with the Li17Pb83 eutectic has been studied in the temperature range 623-873 K for times up to 6000 h. In the corrosion layers formed there is a strong Ni depletion and Pb and Li penetration in the matrix. Tests at 623 K in Li17Pb83 on notched tensile specimens under a constant uniaxial tensile load, below the engineering yield stress, have evidenced that many cracks filled with Pb and possibly Li are formed after relatively short times.
