Times Cited Count:7 Percentile:44.40(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Cavitation damage of structural materials due to pressure waves is expected to be one of the majior life-time limiting factors in high power liquid metal spallation targets under pulsed operation. Two methods are developed for the European Spallation Source (ESS) to mitigate this damage: Introduction of gas bubbles to surpress the pressure pulse and surface-hardening of structural materials. Surface-hardening of four 8-13%Cr martenstic steels was examined by thermal treatment with pulsed or scanned electron- and laser-beams as well as by nitriding in plasma. A specimens of the 12%Cr steel were tested in liquid mercury under pulsed proton irradiation, and under mechanical pulsed-loading. Surface damage was analysed by optical, confocal-laser, or scanning-electron microscopy, showing in both tests much better resistance of the hardened material compared to standard condition.

Times Cited Count:34 Percentile:87.82(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Corrosion tests were performed in oxygen-saturated liquid Pb-Bi at 450C and 550C in a pot for 3000h for Al-surface-treated steels containing various levels of Cr contents. The Al surface treatments were achieved using a gas diffusion method and a melt dipping method. AlO, FeAl and AlCr produced by the gas diffusion method exhibited corrosion resistance to liquid Pb-Bi, while the surface layer produced by the melt dipping method suffered a severe corrosion attack. FeAl and FeAl produced by the melt dipping method disappeared during the corrosion test at 550C and only FeAl remained.

A report at MEGAPIE(Megawatt Pilot Experiment) Technical R & D Meeting is collected into an FZK report. According to the static corrosion tests, Al surface-treated layer produced by the gas diffusion method exhabited corrosion resistance to liquid Pb-Bi, while Al surface-treated layer produced by the melt dipping method suffered a severe corrosion attack. Furtheremore, it was found that a thick ferrite layer was formed in the surface of austenitic stainless steel at 550C. Dissolution at high temperature parts, precipitation of Fe-Cr alloy and deposition of PbO at low temperature parts occured in the first loop corrosion test. These caused plugging of the narrow passage in electro-magnetic pumu(EMP) system. Adoption of filters and a wide passage in an EMP system, and the use of an inner-polished tube specimen brought about a good effect.
