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 …

The surface of silicon is very sensitive to interactions with oxygen present as impurity in
furnace atmosphere. It is shown that three types of Si surfaces can be obtained depending …

The present study discovered the twin boundaries (TBs) of CoCrNi medium-entropy alloy
(MEA) exhibited high corrosion resistance to liquid lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) at 500° C …

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 …

Abstract The 24Ni-15Cr-4.0 Al wt.% based alumina-forming austenitic steel was exposed to
lead-bismuth eutectic with 10− 8 wt.% oxygen at 600℃ for 500 and 1700 h. It was found that …

The present work was carried out in the framework of the study of new lead-free solder
alloys for technical applications in electronic devices. In the focus of this characterisation the …

In view of the needs in the developments of the fast-neutron nuclear reactor, the accelerator
driven nuclear reactor system, the fusion reactor and so on, this study has conducted an …

Laser brazing is an effective process for joining of steel products widely applied in
automobile industry on exposed parts, especially on two following targeted applications …

In accelerator driven systems (ADSs), steels will suffer not only from the irradiation damage
produced by protons or neutrons, but also from the dissolution corrosion induced by the …

The interaction between liquid Pb and irradiation defects at structural materials/liquid metal
interface is fundamental to understand the irradiation-enhanced corrosion of structure …
