Abstract
The corrosion of type 316 stainless steel by flowing Li was studied as a function of time in thermal-convection loops. After a transient period, the corrosion rates were observed to be constant with time with values ranging from 10 to 20 mg/m2 h. Preliminary analysis indicated that the corrosion rate is controlled by the diffusion of Fe through the liquid Li boundary layer. The deposition processes involved the formation of crystals of nearly pure Cr in the cold legs of the loops.
