| Abstract Scope |
The use of electrochemistry offers enormous capabilities to determine the material properties of alloys immersed in high-temperature molten salts. Electrochemical approaches typically involve coupled salt/alloy interactions, but if salt properties are well-known and maintained in a consistent state, fundamental characterization of the alloy alone can be achieved. Knowledge of these fundamental properties, such as the activity of alloy constituents, is crucial to predict the corrosion behavior of structural metals when exposed to challenging molten salt conditions. Toward that end, Argonne National Laboratory has been conducting an extensive campaign examining fundamental properties and providing rapid screening of key CSP-relevant alloys. Results from testing in isothermal, non-isothermal, and high-throughput corrosion cell configurations will be discussed. |
