Abstract

The corrosion behavior of the CLF-1 steel irradiated by 6 MeV Au-ions with different fluences was studied by exposing it to a solid tritium breeder (Li4SiO4) in a 0.12 MPa He + 1% H2 atmosphere at 550 °C. The results showed that irradiation-induced hardening appeared in the irradiated CLF-1. The double corrosion layer appeared on the irradiated samples, and the thickness of the corrosion layer increased with the irradiation damage level. A newly formed corrosion product of Li2Fe3O4 appeared on the sample surface corresponding to the highest irradiation damage level. The underlying mechanism for the changed mechanical properties and corrosion products is discussed.
