용융염 LiCl-Li2O-Li3N에서 316LN SS의 용접부 부식거동
Corrosion Behavior of 316LN Stainless Steel Weld in the Molten Salts of LiCl-Li2O-Li3N
In the development of the advanced spent fuel management process based on the molten salt technology, it is essential to choose the optimum material for the process equipment handling molten salt. As a part of assessment and application of the structural material for the molten salt handling system, corrosion behavior of 316LN ss weld in the molten salts was investigated. In a molten salt of LiCL-Li2O, the oxide scales of LiCrO2 and Li4MoO5 were formed at the rate of simular linear kinetics. But in the molten salt of LiCl-Li2O-Li3N, the oxide and nitride scales of Li4MoO5, CrN and Mo2N were formed at the rate of simliar linear kinetics. The corrosion rate of 316LN ss in the molten salt of LiCl-Li2O was lower than that in the molten salt of LiCl-Li2O-Li3N.
