Abstract

Mass transport of corrosion products between Ni-201 test samples and 316 L capsules in a 500-hour FLiNaK corrosion experiment has been investigated. In one experiment, the capsule and samples were electrically connected for galvanic coupling, while in the other they were electrically isolated using boron-nitride. Post-corrosion characterization of Ni-201 from the two experiments did not reveal any remarkable differences. Substantial transport of Fe and Cr from the 316 L to the Ni-201 via the salt was observed, with notable diffusion of these elements in the near-surface regions of the Ni-201 samples, while a Cr-rich film was also observed on their surfaces.
