| Abstract Scope |
Isothermal capsule testing is a cheap and quick way to investigate corrosion behavior of structural alloys in molten salt and an important screening test before flowing experiments. Eliminating experimental variables in these tests is difficult, however, due to the complexity of the systems involved. Capsule tests of Fe-16Cr-20Ni and Ni-16Cr alloys exposed in Cl salts in Mo and quartz capsules at 700°C for 500h, showing that direct contact between the Fe samples and Mo capsules resulted in increased specific mass loss compared to Fe samples exposed in quartz capsules. Similar capsule tests were done for FLiNaK and FLiBe salts, comparing corrosion behavior of type 316H stainless steel in 316 stainless steel capsules and Mo capsules at 550 and 650°C. This work explores the connection between corrosion rates and salt purity, temperature, alloy composition and capsule material. |
