The Dissolution of Cr and Fe at 850°C in FLiNaK and FLiBe

Research output: Book/ReportCommissioned report

Abstract

Understanding the solubility of common alloying elements, such as Cr and Fe, in fluoride salts, can provide valuable insights into the degradation process of alloys in these salts and assist in modeling the attack observed in static and flowing conditions. Previous isothermal dissolution experiments at 550°-750°C in FLiNaK showed little effect of time or temperature on the amount of dissolution, which was not expected. Therefore, the purpose of this milestone was to extend those observations to 850°C where Ni-based alloys have been developed with 100+X better creep strength than the historic Hastelloy N alloy developed for molten salt reactors more than 50 years ago. Exposures were conducted in the same commercial FLiNaK and FLiBe salts used in the lower temperature exposures.
