Abstract Scope |
To minimize degradation of salt-facing components, it is important to understand the material and chemical factors that affect corrosion. Dating back to the MSRE, efforts toward controlling corrosion in molten fluoride salts focused on careful alloy selection, thorough salt purification, and additives for redox control. This work highlights recent work on controlling salt chemistry to mitigate corrosion in fluoride and chloride salts. Specifically, new work on fluoride salt purification will be shown. Additionally, we will report on new techniques to measure salt oxygen and hydrogen content with combustion analysis. This work presents new progress toward measuring and understanding salt chemistry effects on corrosion |
