Times Cited Count:17 Percentile:72.86(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Corrosion behavior of F82H and JPCA was studied in the circulating LBE loop. Those are candidate materials of Japanese ADS beam windows. Maximum temperatures were kept to 450 and 500 C with 100 C constant temperature difference. Main flow velocity was 0.4 to 0.6 m/s in every case. Oxygen concentration was controlled to 2410 mass% although there was an exception. Testing time durations were 500 to 3000 hrs. Round bar type specimens were put in the circular tube of the loop. Electron beam welded joint in the middle part of specimens were also studied. Optical micrograph, electron micrograph, X-ray element analyses and X-ray diffraction were investigated. Consequently for a long-term behavior a linear law is recommended to predict corrosion in the ADS beam design.

R&D on lead-bismuth technology have been conducted for accelerator driven system. From the test results of 316SS using JLBL-1 for 3000h without active oxygen control, mass transfer from high temperature to low temperature parts was observed. It was found that deposition of Pb/Bi and Fe-Cr grains in the annular channel of the electro-magnetic pump caused plugging and decrease in flow rate. The modification of the loop system brought about a good effect on operation. Significant erosion/corrosion was not observed in the experiment using MES loop for 1000h under 10wt.% oxygen condition. The results of static corrosion tests showed the following: corrosion depth decreased at 450C with increasing Cr content in steels while corrosion depth of JPCA and 316SS became larger due to ferritization caused by dissolution of Ni and Cr at 550C. Si-added steel exhibited good corrosion resistance at 550C.
