Description

The saturation solubility of aluminium in Pb-17Li has been measured over the temperature range envisaged for a Pb-17Li tritium breeder/coolant blanket for use in a fusion reactor. The solubility is given by the equation log10S(wppm)=6.249-2784.9/T(K) for T=525-813 K. The results are compared to literature values for the solubility of aluminium in pure lead and show good agreement. A value for the enthalpy of solution of +55.8 kJ mol-1 has been calculated.
