Effect of Silicon on Dynamic/Static Corrosion Resistance of T91 in Lead-Bismuth Eutectic at 550 °C.

The 9-12% Cr ferritic-martensitic heat-resistant steel is the main candidate structural material for the Lead-cooled Faster Reactor. The lower Gibbs free energy change of Si oxide can promote the formation of a stable oxide layer, which can improve the corrosion resistance of the material. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the effect of silicon (Si) on the corrosion resistance of T91 steel in lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE).

Effect of microstructure on the impact toughness and temper embrittlement of SA508Gr.4N steel for advanced pressure vessel materials.

The effect of microstructure on the impact toughness and the temper embrittlement of a SA508Gr.4N steel was investigated. Martensitic and bainitic structures formed in this material were examined via scanning electron microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) analysis.
