Liquid lead (Pb)-and lead–bismuth eutectic (LBE)-cooled fast neutron reactors (Gen-IV
LFRs) are one of the most technologically mature fission reactor technologies, due to their …

This article reviews the current state of the art in understanding manganese steels. The
standard manganese steel (Hadfield's Manganese) has roughly 12% manganese and 1.2 …

The liquid metal embrittlement (LME) of a high manganese austenitic TWIP steel was
investigated by hot tensile testing of zinc coated specimens using Gleeble® thermo …

In this paper, the tensile, fatigue and creep properties of the Ferritic/Martensitic (F/M) steel
T91 and of the Austenitic Stainless (AS) Steel 316L in lead–bismuth eutectic (LBE) or lead …

The creep-to-rupture behavior of T91 steel in static liquid lead–bismuth eutectic (LBE) is
investigated, focusing on the impacts of cyclic temperature and oxygen condition. The …

The susceptibility of a Fe22Mn0. 6C twinning-induced plasticity steel to liquid zinc
embrittlement has been investigated by performing hot tensile tests on bare and …

The liquid metal embrittlement (LME) sensitivity of the martensitic T91 steel by Pb, Bi and
LBE has been studied by small punch tests at different temperatures and strain rates. The …

An experimental activity has been started using the LECOR loop at the ENEA Brasimone
centre to investigate the corrosion behaviour of steels and refractory metals as well as the …

First-principles calculation is performed to systematically investigate the effects of alloying
elements (Cr, Mo, Ni, Pb, and Bi) on stability, cohesion strength, Young's modulus, and …

The megawatt pilot experiment (MEGAPIE) has been launched by six European institutions
(PSI, FZK, CEA, SCK-CEN, ENEA and CNRS), JAEA (Japan), DOE (US) and KAERI (Korea) …
