Abstract:The results of investigations of the corrosion of commercial and experimental steels in lead and the possibilities of corrosion protection are presented. The effect of lead coolant and the lead heat-transfer sublayer on fuel-element cladding are examined. Methods based on thermodynamic calculations and experimental data are proposed for protecting fuel element cladding in a lead-cooled reactor from the corrosive effect of the coolant by creating a new corrosion resistant chromium steel and from the corrosive e… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
