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 …

Significant advances in the study of liquid metal embrittlement have occurred since 2000 but
there have been few reviews of the liquid metal embrittlement literature since that time. This …

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 …

Small punch (SP) tests have been performed at room temperature on round specimens with
six kinds of thicknesses. Experimental results show that the SP energy, the fracture strain …

LBE is one of the primary coolant candidates of advanced nuclear reactors. The present
review conducts an assessment of the coolant based on a series of liquid metal coolant …

The susceptibility of the ferritic–martensitic steels T91 and EUROFER97 to liquid metal
embrittlement (LME) in lead alloys has been examined under various conditions. T91, which …

Heavy liquid metals such as lead bismuth eutectic (LBE) are chosen as the coolant to
innovative Generation IV (Gen IV) reactors where ferritic/martensitic T91 steel is a candidate …

The mechanical behavior of the T91 martensitic steel tempered at 750° C has been studied
in liquid lead–bismuth eutectic (LBE) and in inert atmosphere. Several conditions were …

In the present work, LBE (lead–bismuth eutectic) embrittlement effects on ferritic/martensitic
(FM) steels have been studied by conducting slow-strain-rate tensile (SSRT) testing on T91 …

The effects of friction coefficient, specimen thickness, punching rate and the diameter of
center hole in lower die on the plastic damage of SUS304 stainless steel have been studied …
