| Abstract Scope |
Although molten salts have numerous benefits as coolants and fuels for Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs), their corrosive nature requires ensuring compatibility with structural materials. Prior to conducting flowing salt compatibility tests, understanding the extent of corrosion through static testing can be highly beneficial for risk assessment, alloy screening, and targeted corrosion experiments that aim to investigate specific variables like impurity additions. In this study, samples of type Cr and Fe are exposed to static molten NaCl-MgCl2 salts for 100, 500, and 2000 hours, with a maximum temperature of 850 °C, and a minimum of 550 °C. Through analysis of the samples, the objective is to identify the key parameters that govern the degradation of materials induced by corrosion during exposure to molten chloride salts. |
