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 …

Liquid metal embrittlement (LME) is the term for a collection of phenomena by which the
action of a liquid metal in contact with the surface of a solid metal results in the weakening …

In this paper, the corrosion properties of austenitic steel with and without protection of Fe 3 O
4 scale was investigated based on first-principles calculations. The results show that lead …

Material strengthening and embrittlement are controlled by intrinsic interactions between
defects, such as grain boundaries (GBs), and impurity atoms that alter the observed …

In this work, uniaxial creep tests under 300, 350 and 380 MPa were performed to study the
synergy of stress and corrosion in a 12Cr ferritic/martensitic (F/M) steel exposed to static …

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 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 …

As for a newly developed tempered martensitic steel, SIMP with 1.4 wt.% Si, used in the
Chinese Initiative Accelerator Driven System (CiADS), so it is worth investigating the stress …

Based on the state of the art oxide maps concerning oxidation behavior of Fe–Cr–Al model
alloys at 800 and 1000° C in oxygen atmosphere, ten compositions, belonging to this alloy …

Intergranular Zn-assisted liquid metal embrittlement (LME) cracks have been frequently
reported in steels, involving austenite grain boundary penetration of liquid Zn at high …
