They tested α-Al 2 O 3 oxide layers on oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) alloys in a high-temperature, flowing lithium-lead environment. Bare ODS alloys formed a durable γ-LiAlO 2 layer in ...

However, these coolants, typically made from lithium and lithium-lead (LiPb) alloys, are highly corrosive and threaten the structural integrity of the reactor vessel. This is where ODS alloys can ...

Corrosion test of ODS FeCrAl alloys in liquid LiPb at 873K (left and center) and STEM cross-sectional observation on the surface of pre-oxidized alloy after exposure to liquid LiPb flow (right ...
