摘要
Due to its favorable thermal-physical and chemical properties,lead-bismuth eutectic(LBE)is one of primary candidate materials for coolant in advanced nuclear reactors.However,severe corrosion of structural materials occurs in the presence of LBE in advanced nuclear reactors,especially at high temperature[1;2].Therefore,the selection of the structural material exposed to LBE is an extremely complex problem and compatibility tests are required.Because of their good mechanical properties under irradiation up to 500℃,ferritic/martensitic steels are considered to be one of the promising structural materials for advanced nuclear reactors,and so the compatibility tests of SIMP and T91 steel specimens were conducted at 450℃with saturated oxygen.
