“…The penetration process depends on many factors, such as the solubility of the solid element in the liquid material C SL , the diffusivity of the solid element in the liquid material D SL , the solid-liquid interfacial energy c SL , the grain boundary energy of solid material c GB , the solid grain boundary self-diffusion coefficient D GB , temperature T and time t [17]. [20,21]. Additionally, the pressure plays a crucial role in the penetration rate.…”

The active oxygen control technique is a recently developed effective method for mitigating structural corrosions by forming a protective oxide film along the structural materials in corrosive lead bismuth eutectic (LBE) systems. The mechanisms of LBE corrosion and the oxidation of stainless steel in LBE environment have been analyzed. The active oxygen control technique is introduced and the oxidation experiment results with oxygen control are summarized. The buoyancy-enhanced oxygen transport, both laminar and turbulent, in the experimental LBE container has been numerically investigated using the finite volume method. The flux of oxygen at the gas-liquid and solid-liquid interfaces, the oxygen concentration in the bulk flow, and the rate of oxide layer formation are calculated. The time needed for the momentum and energy to reach the steady state and the time for the bulk concentration of oxygen to reach equilibrium are estimated. The rate of oxide layer formation on the steel surface under different thermal boundary conditions and diffusivities is also calculated. The numerical analysis provides a guideline for the design and setup of the apparatus in testing and calibrating low-concentration oxygen sensors and to study the oxidation of stainless steel containers for LBE.

“…Lead may permit reduction of costs for operation & maintenance of reactor. However, it is well known that the steel of reactor cladding are severely corroded if they are exposed to the pure lead/lead alloy coolant directly at medium to high temperatures [1] [8]. The corrosion has limited the lifetime of reactor operation.…”

Abstract-Corrosion of iron in lead liquid coolant of fast nuclear reactor was studied using the molecular dynamics simulation method. The main goal of this work is to investigate effect of oxygen injection into lead coolant in order to reduce the corrosion rate of iron (major component of clad steel). By evaluating the mean square displacement curves, radial distribution function curves, iron diffusion coefficients and also observed the crystal structure of iron before and after oxygen injection then we concluded that the best value for significant, efficient and effective reduction of pure iron corrosion will be achieved by injection of 1.00% oxygen atoms (compared to the number of coolant atoms) into lead coolant, at temperature 750 oC. The corrosion rate had been reduced to the level of 2.09%, compared without oxygen injection.
