Abstract

The application of liquid metals to high temperature heat-transfer fluids has stimulated much development work on heat-transfer systems utilizing various low-melting and high boiling metals and alloys. The selection of container materials to resist the attack by liquid metals is a difficult problem. The general way of attack by liquid corrodant is direct alloying, solution attack, intergranular penetration, corrosion by contaminants and others. Microscopic examination of metallographically polished surface was adopted to investigate the attack of liquid metals on iron and steels in the present study. The reliability of experimental method, the effect of oxygen and the effect of stabilizer of oxygen were examined.
