Abstract
The paper presents the results on post-exposure analysis of specimens from the Lithium Mini-Test Loop operated at Argonne National Laboratory and from capsule experiments at Seibersdorf. Corrosion behaviour depends on the lithium impurity levels, on metallurgical factors (fabrication, mechanical deformation) and presence of MHD effects. It is concluded that under low flow conditions microstructural changes due to lithium corrosion do not appear to be a life-limiting factor for 304-SS and 316-SS within reasonable time periods. However, compatibility studies should continue to derive more quantitative data on impurity and mass transfer effects.
